Palestine, Ohio....the train crash with huge toxic spill.
Biden won't let FEMA declare it a disaster area so they can get aid because it's not a natural disaster, like a tornado, flood, etc.
FEMA don't care if it's a man-made disaster apparently.

No matter what crank right wing propaganda sites tell you that's not true; the definition of a "major disaster" in the Stafford Act includes:

", or,
regardless of cause, any fire, flood, or explosion, in any part of the United States,
which in the determination of the President causes damage of sufficient severity
2
and magnitude to warrant major disaster ...[text shortened]... loss, hardship, or suffering caused
thereby."

Section 102(2) of the Stafford Act (42 USC 5122)

And you think what is happening in Ohio doesn't qualify?

"Sec. 401. Procedure for Declaration (42 U.S.C. 5170)
(a) In General - All requests for a declaration by the President that a major disaster exists shall be made by the Governor of the affected State. Such a request shall be based on a finding that the disaster is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and the affected local governments and that Federal assistance is necessary. As part of such request, and as a prerequisite to major disaster assistance under this Act, the Governor shall take appropriate response action under State law and direct
execution of the State’s emergency plan. The Governor shall furnish information on the nature and amount of State and local resources which have been or will be committed to alleviating the results of the disaster, and shall certify that, for the current disaster, State and local government obligations and expenditures (of which State commitments must be a significant proportion) will comply with all applicable cost-sharing requirements of this Act. Based on the request of a Governor under this section, the President may declare under this Act that a major disaster or emergency exists."

I think the Governor has to specifically request the President make a disaster declaration and he hasn't.

When did Governor DeWine specifically request a declaration by the President that a major disaster exists? That's required by Section 401 of the Stafford Act (42 USC 5170). https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_stafford_act_2021_vol1.pdf

As of yesterday:

"At this time, DeWine has still not made a disaster declaration in response to the derailment." ...[text shortened]...
