Talking points on today’s data release b xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0172_0318_0318_1

1. It is increasingly clear through internal review at DEQ that staff overseeing drinking water mistakenly applied the wrong federal protocol when the city of Flint switched to the Flint River. 2. Today's announcement of new leadership in that division aligns with the states goal: make sure the public health is protected in Flint and elsewhere in the state, and ensure we learn from this so it never happens again. 3. The governor's action plan continues to protect kids and families in Flint, with the switch back to Detroit water last week, free water filtration for all city residents, and inspection of all Flint schools for lead exposure. 4. Flint families who are concerned are encouraged to take advantage of free home water testing through the city and blood lead level testing for children.

10-2-15.pdf; Infographic - Flint water tips 10-2-15.pdf; Flint water - talking points (draft 151001).docx Importance: High Hi all - Per conversations today, here are the details for Friday’s embargoed media conference call. Given some of the changing information, we added in a quick pre-brief with the Governor from 11 to 11:10 a.m. to give us a chance to go over any last details and finalize flow. This will be followed by the actual media conf. call from 11:15 to 11:40 a.m. Know that folks will be needing to head to Flint immediately afterward. Sounds like we’ll have Dan, Nick and Dr. Wells in person. That’s great and will work best when most everyone is in the same room. The location is Romney Building, 1° floor communications conference room. The governor will be joining us

PLEASE read and note new bullets on a few of these. Thanks. (Maggie and Brad) xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails21_b0118_0208_0208_1

Hi all - attached are the Gov's edits to the order of items in the action plan. I know we had a robust discussion about these today and everyone felt pretty deliberative and flowed, but please review and let us know if anyone has any major heartburn. Otherwise, this is what will go with and change news release to match. TPs can probably stay in order originally for press conference to maintain flow of Dan, Nick, et al. These have to be to printer by 7 am tomorrow am in order to get done in time for press conference. Thx much, SW Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: - annotated - flattened.pdf xxxEND_PAGE:deq24_b394_0978_0978_1

Would also suggest the following: Why did the Governor allow the city to switch away from DWSD initially? (Would use last portion of the response I sent earlier) The then-emergency manager, mayor and city council approved the move to KWA and the state approved the transition. Following the city's decision to move to KWA, DWSD canceled flints contract effective April of 2014. The city faced limited options for its water source following the cancellation of its DWSD contract. he city felt compelled to make the switch. Once the city opted to move to KWA by 2016, Its contract with DWSD was canceled. Got a couple questions in here related to the Governor specifically, so please have a look and help me make sure it’s right before we call this final, but here’s the media Q&A. Also, Terry please have a look at one of the later questions about the historic sequence. | think | captured the decision on leaving DWSD, but if you've got an official recollection, please provide.
