Joe Biden to issue a major disaster declaration

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has asked President Joe Biden to issue a major disaster declaration for the February 3 train derailment in East Palestine that released massive amounts of toxic chemicals, triggered evacuations and extensive, ongoing, cleanup efforts. In his letter to Biden, the Republican governor said the declaration “is needed to ensure that the State and Federal government use all resources available to step in and provide the community with needed assistance.” The letter notes that, “currently, no unmet needs have been reported to the state” because of the voluntary assistance of rail operator Norfolk Southern. The company has reimbursed citizens and local governments for costs related to the incident.
