🧵 As environmental and human health impact questions linger following the Third Alarm chemical fire at #NoxCrete in Southeast Omaha let's take an inventory of the publicly available information from the stakeholders involved.

A statement by @OmahaOfficial confirmed @NoxCrete filed a "Notification of Environmental Concern" report with @NebraskaDEE. The @OmahaOfficial statement directed the public to contact @NebraskaDEE to obtain the document. As of 5 p.m. the document is not available online.

The @OmahaOfficial statement also directed the public to contact @Noxcrew directly for information on what types of chemicals were present at the facility. As of 5 p.m. the company is not speaking with the media and the last social media post to the public was 6 days ago.

The Douglas County Emergency Management Agency, @DCEMA_Nebraska, who would coordinate the emergency response, shelters and the recovery efforts on a Countywide level last and only public info was a retweet on Twitter 20 hours ago.

The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency, @NEMAtweets, who would coordinate emergency response and recovery efforts on a Statewide level was a message 4 days ago about Memorial Day.

.@HealthDouglasCo director @DrNurseLadyPHN confirms they are gathering information and information will be shared in a day or two. She went on to say any health symptoms "depends on the chemicals involved and we don't yet have an answer on that."

The only agency to provide publicly available information about the plume was @pottcoema who documented its track but noted fire officials on-scene advised there were no toxicity concerns. Any on-scene readings use to make that determination have not been made publicly available.

It is worth noting the primary air quality monitoring device for Douglas County is located at 42nd and Pacific St., the opposite direction of the plume. It's unclear what, if any, air samples have been taken by any agency at the time or post incident.
