The Biden administration told Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine that his state isn't eligible to receive federal disaster assistance for the toxic train spill that displaced local residents.
Brandon Nalesnik, who lives 1.5 miles from the derailment site in Pennsylvania, describes the evacuation and meeting with officials at a town hall in East Palestine, Ohio.
"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."
"FEMA is in constant contact with the emergency operations center in East Palestine and with the Ohio Emergency Management Agency. We are closely coordinating with EPA, HHS, and the CDC, who are helping to test water and air quality, and to conduct public health assessments," FEMA spokesperson Jeremy Edwards told Fox News Digital in a statement.
