6 Months After the Train Derailment: What's it like to live in the impacted area? What do we know? What remains unknown? And how do we prevent future disasters like this? SEHN Science Director Dr. Ted Schettler is moderating a panel of researcher to answer the questions above. This virtual symposium will examine how life has changed for the people of East Palestine and nearby communities six months following the catastrophic train derailment; review the available science, what we still don’t know, and what is needed to bridge the gap; examine policy options to prevention future disasters, ensure that polluters are held responsible, and protect communities and workers; and develop plans for coordinated action. Participants will break into subgroups to identify action steps and priorities to support impacted communities and reduce the likelihood of similar events in the future.
