In Burnt Orange Report the article “Report Finds “Predictable Regulation” May Have Prevented West, Texas Explosion” By Joe Deshotel it’s evidently that Texas has lacked to improve its fire code in case of an emergency. By no providing the adequate training for first responders, and is foreshadowing a possible tragedy even though the first incident did not seem to alert the United States Chemical Safety Board. A quote being “On Thursday, a report by the United Stets Chemical Safety Board outlined the unfortunate reality that not has changed since that fateful day.”
Deshotel’s audience is meant towards the concerned citizens of Texas as his goals is too informed them on the changes that have not been accomplished to increase the safety of these plants. He has worked in and around the government including US Congress and is Director of the Travis County Democratic Party. In addition to this Deshotel claims that by improving the Chemical Safety Board protocols there will be less likely a chance of a tragedy, he points out how Governor Abbott has a weak look in the chemical industry and has tried to hide it from the public eye. A quote being “Abbott went through great lengths to protect the chemical industry and hide important safety information from the public.”
Ultimately, I completely agree with Deshotel on what he states will help the chemical industry by adding fertilizer-grade ammonium nitrate, and sprinkler systems in warehouse facilities. Furthermore, I believe that informing the public on what to be alert for and how they can contribute to the Austin City Council in order to see change in these facilities now.
