Disaster

I am not sure what the status was during renaming efforts, but this event is currently clearly labeled as a disaster in news sources (1). The most prominent Ohio politicians have described it as a disaster (2, 3, 4, 5) and are requesting a major disaster declaration (6), and major FEMA and US and Ohio EPA involvement supports the naming as well. $ɱ$ (talk) 20:06, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

If nobody has any comments or objections to this, I will request that the page is moved.

Removal of Police Comment Under Health Information.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

I propose that the section with the officer stating "The Guardian reported, quoting a police officer who presents at the incident: "We were never told about the cargo on the train and we were never told to wear protective clothing, although it did not matter because our Personal protective equipment (PPE) dates back to 2010". Ohio citizens fear health hazards near train sites while no one is being held answerable." The section does not provide any factual information from an expert.

Are you suggestion the Guardian is unreliable or the police officer was not telling the truth? I'm not sure what you're concerned with here as you've not indicated who the expert would supposedly be, nor what is not factual in this instance. If there are experts who refute the health hazard present at the spill this could also be introduced, however, I'd be surprised if such expert testimony exists.

Not done: Why would this need to be "factual information from an expert" to be included? Actualcpscm (talk) 11:23, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
