 Hey everybody, I just want to, there are a couple of us who will have a few words to say, but I'm Tom Wolf, Governor of Pennsylvania, and I came here to show that the people of Pennsylvania are concerned for what's happening here and concerned for the safety and welfare of the folks here. And I gotta say I'm really impressed with what the local emergency responders have been doing and starting talking with with Bob Walls back here, starting at 5 o'clock this morning. People have banded together, come together to make sure that people are safe and that everything is being done to help the folks. I came when I got here, went out to talk to some of the folks who have been affected in the church, Pastor Stevie's Church. Pastor Stevie, by the way, Pastor Stevie's right here. And thank you for, for, you know, showing such a great face of compassion for the folks here. But by the time I got here, most of the thousand people who have been resettled and transferred to other places had already left. And either in motels or hotels or with friends. There is an animal shelter that has offered to put up pets for two days for free. The community has really banded together. And I really, really appreciate that. But I especially want to thank Pastor Stevie, Bob Walls, who is the Heinemann Emergency Coordinator. Bob, thank you. And we have a number of people here. Just want to say a few words, but the concern is for the safety and welfare of the people of Heinemann and to make sure that we're doing everything we can at the state level to help the good work that's going on at the, at the local level. So let me turn it over to the director of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, Rick Flynn. Rick. Governor, thank you. Thanks again. And I'll tell you that again from our perspective, we certainly are concerned about the folks that have been displaced and we know that they're being taken care of. But I will tell you from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency perspective, our role is to support the county. And county director Dave Cubbson is here. That's our role is to support whatever he needs. We've gone ahead and activated our Commonwealth Response Coordination Center early on this morning when we first got the call. We brought in state agencies and everything from PennDOT, the Department of Health, Department of Human Services, Department of Environmental Protection all heavily engaged in Harrisburg, but also have resources and assets on the ground. We brought our satellite trucks in and our area office staff in to support. South Central Task Force brought in their incident management team. They're going to start working. We brought our state incident management team in to support them. So again, it's a collective effort, but as the governor said, our number one concern is the safety and making sure that this thing goes smoothly. And so we're working very closely with the local officials to make sure that happened. I'd like to turn that over now to Josh Lang, who's the chair of the Bedford County Commissioners. Josh. Thank you. Thanks. Appreciate it. First, let me just say by mentioning today was an unfortunate incident and my thoughts and prayers are with the families of all those that are affected. I'm proud to live in a county where the community does come together to assist those families in need. I've had a few different situations where we've had to band together as a community under emergency situations and I can honestly say that our 911 EMS here in Hyman, the church opening up their doors, volunteers with the American Red Cross Salvation Army and I'm sure I'm missing a lot, but there's a lot of people that came together today to support those families and I appreciate the updates we've been getting from the county perspective and we're going to work to make these families whole again and again my thoughts and prayers are with them at this time and I know it's it's not an easy thing for them to be dealing with. I'm sure I'll turn it over to my colleague, Commissioner Barry DeLair. Thank you, Josh. I was here 1130 today, quarter to 12 when we got informed that we needed to leave the school and move away from the community because there was a lot of concern about the freight car that was on fire. I was truly amazed at the efficiency of moving over a thousand people out of their homes. We have 450 structures in Hyman borough. We have another 18 on the hillside of the township. Everybody was relocated and we're just very grateful for that and I would just tell you that we've talked for a long time about the need for cell service in Hyman. Hopefully the microscope that's being put on this event will help us get cell service in Hyman for a safety reason for for none other and we just thank the good lord everybody safe. I'm going to introduce Senator Langerholtz who has been here and been very supportive all day. Thank you very much. Thank you and let me just echo those comments by Commissioner Dallara. Thank God no one was injured in this and I want to thank all the first responders across all levels from local state to federal. Thank the governor for for being here and offering his support and it's really a testament to the the close-knitness of this community and how so many people were able to come together and really provide for all different levels to make sure that this displacement this goes smoothly and I would ask that that everyone continue to keep those first responders in their prayers because there's still a long way to go here. We thank God that no one was injured. I heard someone overheard someone saying here while I was touring the facility here that you know property can be replaced the human lives cannot so we're very thankful we know that there's still a long way to go and there's still the first responders will be putting themselves in harm's way so we ask you to please can keep them in your prayers. Thank you. Okay now all all of us are happy to open this up to questions. As far as what are some of the immediate assets obviously there's a lot right now that you can bring to bear to alleviate the situation from the first responders aspect to the many people here who are as you said before apparently doing what they do in South Central Pennsylvania is take care of themselves. Well as I said we're in a support role. This was a derailment of a train that had some nasty substances in the cars but the response on the part of the local responders and CSX has been tremendous. What we're doing the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency is here that's Rick Flynn, Penn Dodd is here, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Department of Environmental Protection and and we're here to to play whatever supporting role we can play to to make sure that people are safe and and we will continue to do that but again we're in support of what's going on at the local level whether it's the county, the Heinemann or the non-profits, the charitable world here in Heinemann. We will do whatever we can and whatever we need to do to help them make sure that the folks here are safe. Yes. Are you aware if this training had traveled from the Pittsburgh area on its way? I don't know that. That's a question you need to ask CSX. Yes. The commissioner mentions about the need for cell service in the area. Is that something that could be helped on the state level of making that happen? The senator and I talked about that and and we'll be talking about that further. I don't know this is the first before we came out here. We talked about that and we both agree that we will do what we can to see if there is something that we can do at the state level. How did that hinder the evacuation having no cell phone service? Bob, do you want to talk about that? Sure. Let me introduce Bob Walls. He could probably answer that better than anybody. You heard the question. How did that hinder the evacuation? It actually did hinder to some extent. We do have a one-call system that goes out to all the residents in the borough itself. We were able to issue three warnings out of it in time to get three quarters of the town evacuated through that system. A lot of people depend on the landlines there because there is no cell service so that worked fairly well. We were still able to go door to door with fire and EMS and the state police and we did like I said with the one-call system and going door to door we were able to get everybody out in a reasonable amount of time so it went very well even though we had some complications. It would be easier if we had cell service here. I think he might be able to answer my question too. We were just sort of wondering we had heard that there were residents who did not want to leave their homes. Are there still some left? There were a few that did not leave even though we tried to persuade them several times even the state police but we did take down their names and their ages and their residents number so that we know that that where they're at and if if they're still there that we know where to look. To rate the danger in this location at this time what would you say that is? I mean because we've got first responders down there we've got people obviously still in their homes so how much danger are they in? It's still a very high level risk right now. We do have one of our engine crews and an ambulance crew actually in the town right now supporting the hazmat team from CSX. Do you have a number on exactly how many residents are still in town? As a last count we had maybe six that stayed. During the early maybe after 12 o'clock there were state police helicopter flying over there was apparently at some point I believe five individuals who were for lack of a better word taken from the scene for what's called decontamination. All right I'll wait till our good friends move on there. Okay speaking of cell phones can you hear me now? Yes. At one point it seemed that there were five individuals we understand that were taken from in and around the area to a decontamination area as a precautionary measure. Is there a decontamination area set up anywhere? Not at this time now. Okay so we're not dealing with those kind of chemicals to discharge you. All right thank you. Any other questions? Okay well thank you very much and again my greatest appreciation gratitude to the all the folks the volunteers who have come together to help keep the people of Heinemann safe. Thank you very much.
