Fwd: genesee and emergency declaration
- From
- Timothy Bolles
- To
- Jay Fiedler
Hi Guys,
| don't have anything written up - been staying away from this issue (kind of outside the CD
realm, eh?). Mlive has had some good articles with timelines and actions taken by city/state
government and the health department.
When the Hurley Doc released her evaluation of lead data from their clinic evaluations there
was an initial response from our environmental health folks that suggested that their data
didn't show what Hurley's did. Unfortunately, after paring down MDHHS data to just kids who
likely were exposed to Flint drinking water Eden (Wells) was quoted in one article that there
indeed was an increase in kids less than 6 after the switch. (You may want to talk with Eden,
Joyce - I've only been privy to what is in the news.) The Public Health Emergency was declared
after that - (last Thursday).
Honestly, | wouldn't offer too much information on this issue...(That's my 2 cents)
