The Biden administration is reaching out personally to residents affected by the train derailment and toxic chemical spill along the Ohio, Pennsylvania border. Teams from the Environmental Protection Agency, FEMA and the CDC knocked on doors of over 530 East Palestinian households over the weekend. EPA Administrator Michael Reardon will also make his third visit to the town today. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro says he's meeting with officials from Norfolk Southern later this week. The rail operator refused to participate in the unified command in the early days of the crisis and did not provide enough information to federal officials.
