Libby Public Health Emergency
From the Missoulian: "Millions more in federal money is expected for Libby area asbestos cleanup and medical care, with the announcement Wednesday of an emergency health declaration.
"It is the first time such a declaration has been made in the United States, and identifies the town as a top financial priority for environmental remediation and patient treatment."
The Department of Health and Human Services issued a press release summarizing the public health emergency declaration. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website offers greater detail about the Libby Public Health Emergency finding. Senator Baucus also released a statement about the declaration.
