In my last update on the chemical release disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, I noted that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declined to send aid to the state. Basically, Gov. Mike DeWine was told that it wasn’t the agency’s normal purview, which usually is related to assisting after natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes.
Since that report, the agency has rethought its initial stance.
The level of pollution caused by the train derailment should have had FEMA and the EPA working around the clock to deal with the fall-out. Instead, you have dead birds falling from the sky in a rainstorm 70 miles away from ground zero. So NOW the people who are charged with dealing with disasters are finally stepping up.
Too fucking late. That shit is in the air. It's in the water. And it's spreading. The fallout from this is going to be YEARS long.
