IP Explosion: Community Town Hall Meeting Tonight
February 2, 2017
A community town hall meeting will be held tonight to provide the very latest information on the International Paper explosion in Cantonment.
International Paper hosted an “open house” last Saturday for impacted residents and businesses around the mill. Attendees were able to visit tables inside a tent on the IP property and individually obtain more information on topics such as “health” and the “environment”. Many that attended the open house expressed their displeasure at the format, saying that expected more of a meeting format with officials and experts addressing the crowd.
In response, the Unified Command will host the community town hall meeting tonight in the Tate High School Cafeteria. There will be an incident response overview followed by a question and answer session for residents and businesses in the local area. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the event will begin at 6 p.m.
The Unified Command Team is comprised of International Paper, Escambia County EMA/Public Safety, Florida Department of Health, Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Give them a break on the Saturday meeting. It’s not like the plant people are used to holding these meetings. They are just as confused as the residents of the area. Trying hard to get people back to work too.
