Bob ~ Please fill in the EPA's hotline number in the last paragraph. Also, I added a phrase in the first paragraph indicating FEMA's support from the start of the program.
I called Sharon Greenburger to tell her we had prepared a press release, but she had already left the office. 1 will leave a copy for the Commissioner to review on Monday morning.

Looks like a go to me. Charlie's comments that it appears to be a DEP press release with Chris in the lead is exactly, in my mind, what we want it to be.

Please let me know when we can advise FEMA of our release date. As previously discussed, we will have a roster of the over 1000 buildings inspected by our staff.

We may want to include the tel # if people want to inquire about clean-up; the way it's drafted appears to be a DEP press release, i.e.. Comm Ward is the lead rather than something like "Commisioner Christopher Ward, joined by FEMA Director Joseph Albaugh, today announced the results of...... "
