HAMILTON COUNTY, TN ---
State Representatives Patsy Hazlewood, Robin Smith and Esther Helton in coordination with the Women in Government Foundation, helped facilitate a donation of over 4,000 gallons of chlorine bleach from the American Chemistry Council's Chlorine Chemistry Division.

The Hamilton County Office of Emergency Management (HCOEM) is distributing the bleach throughout Hamilton County to help rural communities and businesses who may have unmet cleaning and disinfecting needs. “This donation will go a long way to help protect the health and safety of our community," says HCOEM Director, Chris Adams. “These are unprecedented times, and we appreciate Rep. Hazlewood, the American Chemistry Council, and the Women in Government for making this generous donation possible,” says Adams.
HCOEM will disseminate the bleach out to the Tri-State Mutual Aid agencies, Chattanooga Fire Department, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, Southeast Regional Healthcare Coalition and various volunteer agencies.
