I'm not addressing this to Jim M. because he seems to only want to protect the Democrat machine, but I will ask the rest of you a question. Jim posted the following from the FEMA website, in part:
"The President can declare a major disaster...or, regardless of cause, fire...that the President determines has caused damage of such severity that it is beyond the combined capabilities Seems that "regardless of cause" aspect, and "fire" would include the derailment. To defend a failure to act and assist seems incredibly nitpicky and uncaring. Since when is the federal government's directive to not care about people? Is it when they are spending millions giving away free money to people not working during a pandemic? Is it when they are giving away billions to Ukraine, a foreign country involved in a war, a country that has greatly curtailed individual freedoms, and outlawed the Christian religion? What do the rest of you think? Should we give the federal government a pass on this? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The Ohio derailment was not a natural disaster. From the FEMA website: Major Disaster Declarations The President can declare a major disaster for any natural event, including any hurricane, tornado, storm, high water, wind-driven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, or drought, or, regardless of cause, fire, flood, or explosion, that the President determines has caused damage of such severity that it is beyond the combined capabilities of state and local governments to respond. A major disaster declaration provides a wide range of federal assistance programs for individuals and public infrastructure, including funds for both emergency and permanent work. "Ohio Governor Mike DeWine spoke with officials at the White House early this morning to address the need for federal help. As a result of this conversation, the Governor has requested assistance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health and Emergency Response Team, and the CDC to provide on-the-ground assistance in East Palestine," DeWine's office said in a statement on Thursday."
