As the National Guard joins Governor Tomblin as well as various county, state, and federal authorities in helping those affected by the state of emergency due a chemical leak and water advisory, we here at West Virginia Public Broadcasting will do our best to keep you informed on water distribution centers and filling stations as they become available. Below is the most up-to-date list of these centers we have.
If there is an open distribution center not listed here: please email: dmistich@wvpublic.org
