Broww Communications Representative Executive Office of Michigan Governor Rick Snyder ©: 517-335-6397 M: 517-388-3873 Brown|[email protected] Flint Water Dally Update Updated Feb. 1 Current Issues Talking Points Governor and DEQ stress importance of home water testing ® The health and safety of Flint residents remains a top priority. It is essential that all Flint residents have the water in their homes tested as soon as possible. e While water filters will eliminate lead in most homes, those with levels above 150 parts per billion will need to take extra precaution. e If levels are above 150 ppb, residents should not drink water from the filtered faucet and use bottled water only. ® DEQ and DHHS will visit homes found to have lead levels over 150 ppb for additional testing. © To date, less than one percent of Flint homes have been identified as having lead levels of this amount. Results showing lower levels indicate residents should continue following established protocols. ® Pregnant and nursing mothers and young children should continue to drink bottled water as a precaution. e Free water testing kits are available at Fire Stations 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8. Water Samples should be returned to the fire stations for testing. e Anyone who is unable to get to a Fire Station to pick up a free testing kit should call United Way 2-1-1 for assistance. Federal denial of WIC expansion for Flint children ® On Saturday, the federal government denied the Governor's request to use supplemental nutrition funding for Flint children up to 10 years of age who may have been exposed to high Jead levels in the water. @ The governor has continually stated that the Flint water issue is the result of government failure at all levels. All levels of government should be committed to supporting Flint’s families along their road to recovery. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b38_6783_6976_054 It is understood that WIC funding is generally meant for children five years old and younger, however this disaster calls for a waiver of this rule. Expanded nutritional support for children under 10 is essential to their long-term well-being. The Governor is urging the federal government to re-evaluate their denial of this funding. The state has provided more than $28 million for a short-term solution in Flint, but additional funding and collaboration is necessary to implement a successful long-term solution. xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b38_6783_6976_055 Ryan, Howard (Ti reasury)

Gov. Rick Snyder is releasing this statement on the Flint water situation: When | became aware that the city of Flint’s water showed elevated lead levels and that the state’s handling of the situation was being questioned, | requested funding to switch the source back to the Great Lakes Water Authority and appointed an independent task force to identify possible missteps and areas for improvement. The task force has done an exceptional job, reviewing stacks of documents and interviewing scores of Flint, Genesee County, state and federal officials. Although the task force’s final report is not yet completed, it has made me aware of some interim findings and corrective steps that | have decided to take immediately in order to restore trust in how the state keeps its citizens safe and informed. We'll continue to work with the community members to make sure we hear and respond to their concerns. In addition, MDEQ Director Dan Wyant has offered his resignation, and I’ve determined that it’s appropriate to accept it. I’m also making other personnel changes at MDEQ to address problems cited by the task force. But changes in leadership and staff are not enough. | understand there can be disagreements within the scientific community. That is why | have directed both the departments of Environmental Quality and Health and Human Services to invite every external scientist who has worked on this issue to be our partners in helping us improve Flint water. Let’s share research on water and blood lead level testing so we can arrive at accurate and mutually supported conclusions. Together, we should work to affirm that we’re using the very best testing protocols to ensure Flint residents have safe drinking water and that we’re taking steps to protect their health over the short and long term. | want the Flint community to know how very sorry | am that this has happened. And | want all Michigan citizens to know that we will learn from this experience, because Flint is not the only city that has an aging infrastructure. | know many Flint citizens are angry and want more than an apology. That’s why I’m taking the actions today to ensure a culture of openness and trust. We’ve already allocated $10 million to test the water, distribute water filters, and help in other ways. Last week, I called Flint Mayor Karen Weaver, and we’re going to meet soon to discuss other ways the state can offer assistance. These are only initial steps - we fully expect to take more actions following the recommendations of our task force. When it comes to matters of health and quality of life, we’re committed to doing everything we can to protect the well- being of our citizens. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b1329_3430_3430_1

Hello everyone, This afternoon we will be issuing the attached press release about the updated Flint blood lead level report, as well as the report itself. Of note, this report has changed slightly. Under past reports, people with an age of 5 % or 17 % were rounded up to be in the 6- 17 and 18 and older columns because of the way the data was pulled. They are now under the proper categories so while they may have switched which age bracket they fell into, the total numbers remain the same.

Here's the final version of the Eisenhower report. With litte deviation, the pattern we're seeing emerge now that we've tested 8 schools ig that old faucets and drinking fountain oubblers (which should have been replaced in the 60s) are the source of any lead we are fincing in the schools testing. This is worth noting because it’s entirely likely that may of the old homes in Flint ~ and, for that matter, elsewhere in the state — are probably in similar situation to the schools. The conversation thus far has been focused on lead service lines, out another considerable transmission source is old faucets, or copper plumbing with the 30-50 lead solder thal was once common. We're inclined to post ihe most recent report on the heels of the DHHS data announcement, as it seems a natural follow fo that news. If the DHHS data is planned for jater than Wednesday, we could put it out by liself. Like I said, we're testing a couple schools every weekend these days, so we'll have more after this announcement and the findings are all following the same pattern.

ATT00002.htm Heads up. We have more schools data ready to post, and the story is the same: fixtures that need to be replaced. Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:

i don’t think this should happen today at all. Governor is at an important event in Southeast Michigan this morning, and | think we need some direction from him and ethers on this issue.

Good evening, MDHHS friends, Here are suggested changes to the press release. | think it’s vitally important to have our “people first” approach, and be very up front about the results. | also think it’s important to show up high what we will do with this data. Please consider the changes. | also think it’s worth a conversation about whether we want to release this on a Friday morning. This is a challenging situation to be sure, but | think these results are fairly encouraging considering some of the heated rhetoric on this issue. Thank you, Dave FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jennifer Eisner DRAFT (517) 241-2112 MDHHS releases October data outlining blood lead levels in Flint Results show 24 of 963 people tested had elevated levels LANSING, Mich. — Blood lead level testing results released today revealed that 24 of 963 adults and children tested in Flint in October had elevated levels, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. MDHHIS is working closely with the Genesee County Health Department to reach out to families testing with higher levels and help them reduce their exposure to lead sources. Information was gathered from tests administered citywide to 963 children and adults between October | and October 30. Eighteen people age 17 or younger had elevated blood lead levels. Six adults over the age 18 were identified with elevated blood lead levels. The report is intended to inform residents about blood lead level testing efforts in Flint and provide cumulative total numbers. “Our goal is to help families reduce their exposure to lead sources,” said Dr. Eden Wells, chief medical executive with the MDHHS. “We have made progress in testing and 1 xxxEND_PAGE:deq14_b0866_2868_2870_1 identifying those with elevated blood lead levels, and the department will continue to work closely with county health department to reach these families. We will update these numbers on a regular basis and remain diligent in our ongoing outreach and education.” The data in the report include the total number of tests conducted and the total number of elevated blood lead levels greater than 5 micrograms per deciliter, and captures both capillary and venous blood tests. ne alto have frail multiple tests are counted only : ater and will be updated as more data becomes available. The testing is part of the state’s action plan to address health concerns related to Flint’s water infrastructure. Last month, MDHHS collaborated with the county health department and local partners to distribute educational resources and informational letter to Flint parents regarding lead testing. GCHD nursing staff are conducting direct outreach to families when an elevated blood lead level has been detected, serving as an important resources by addressing questions and concerns, providing information, and meeting them in their home environment. MDHHS continues to provide free water filters and replacement cartridges to Flint residents at four locations including the MDHHS Flint offices and the Genesee County Community Action Resource Department.
