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."[/quote]

It’s called “the law” but we all know that is a foreign concept to partisan trolls.[/quote]

This, from FEMA website:

"Any occasion or instance--such as a hurricane, tornado, storm, flood, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, fire, explosion, nuclear accident, or any other natural or man-made catastrophe--that warrants action to save lives and to protect property, public health, and safety"

How can this disaster not qualify, but funeral services for Covid 19 are covered?

FEMA website: "If you are covering the cost of a COVID-19 funeral, FEMA may be able to help."
"You may qualify for up to $9,000 per funeral for expenses."[/quote]

Thank you. The biggest environmental catastrophe in American history absolutely qualifies. Residents say their pond water has turned rainbow colored. What’s wrong with this administration? Has environmental concern suddenly evaporated?[/quote]

Biggest environmental catastrophe in American history! Says who?! So foolish.[/quote]
