Biden Admin turns down Ohio's request for disaster assistance



The Biden administration turned down a request for federal disaster assistance from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in the aftermath of the train derailment in the state earlier this month that led to a large release of toxic chemicals.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) told Ohio's state government that it was not eligible for disaster assistance to help the community recover from the toxic spill, Dan Tierney, a spokesperson for DeWine, told Fox News Digital on Thursday. Tierney explained that FEMA believed the incident didn't qualify as a traditional disaster, such as a tornado or hurricane, for which it usually provides assistance.

"The DeWine Administration has been in daily contact with FEMA to discuss the need for federal support, however FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time," DeWine's office said in a statement earlier in the day. "Governor DeWine will continue working with FEMA to determine what assistance can be provided."

FEMA said that its team is in constant communication with DeWine's office, but didn't comment on the request for federal relief.

"FEMA is in constant contact with the emergency operations center in East Palestine and with the Ohio Emergency Management Agency. We are closely coordinating with EPA, HHS, and the CDC, who are helping to test water and air quality, and to conduct public health assessments," FEMA spokesperson Jeremy Edwards told Fox News Digital in a statement.

Tierney noted, though, that the governor was able to secure some health assistance from the Department of Health and Human Services that will go towards helping local residents with any medical care costs that stem from the incident.

He added that Norfolk Southern Railroad, the operator of the derailed train, has been providing financial assistance to the community, but that the DeWine administration was prepared to hold the company's "feet to the fire" to ensure it continues to support the community. The Ohio attorney general's office was prepared to intervene if Norfolk Southern Railroad let up on its relief efforts.

"The people of East Palestine need to be made whole," Tierney told Fox News Digital.
...

Norfolk Southern has offered financial compensation to locals who were displaced and has worked with the Environmental Protection Agency and state officials to conduct air safety tests. Health officials have assured the public that tests have shown the area is safe.

Unreal. I read in a separate article that the Norfolk Southern financial compensation was $1,000 which may have included waiving future liability.

Why is this "unreal"?

Seems FEMA is pretty consistent with what their funds are made available for.

Ohio needs to look elsewhere for free chit, I'm sure they'll be okay.

East Palestine is Trump country too. It's in Columbiana County, which voted 72% Trump.

Imagine Trump's administration turning down federal aid to a mostly inner city Democrat voting area of the country.

The fall out of this is catastrophic. All of the local fish life & much of the wildlife are dying, no telling what the long term effects are for humans..but it was okay to send money for hurricanes & billions to Ukraine..?

Very ordinary. They should be providing all assistance possible and clawing back costs from the company.

Then looking at what regulatory failures contributed to this and look to rectify.

They originally offered $25,000 to the town, so $5 per person.

I believe it has now been upped to them offering a $1M fund, which they will control. Which I can guarantee will not be a fraction of what site remediation and monitoring will cost.

Norfolk Southern needs to clean up their mess. Apparently they've already repaired their tracks so progress is being made.

I heard about the $5 per person thing, was unaware of the $1m fund.

The $1k, which may include waiving future liability is from this article:
“We have some clients from the East Palestine area affected by the train accident who are being approached by NS with $1,000 checks for an “inconvenience fee,”” O’Shea said in an email. “We think this is a sly way of getting these poor folks to waive any future claims against NS.”

FEMA provided bottled water and water filters.

What is Ohio asking for? What do they actually need?

I can't remember where I read about the $1M fund, either way every single response from them so far has been inadequate to the point of insulting.
