But the chemical spill does not currently qualify for FEMA aid because it was not a natural disaster
Ohio Army National Guard and Ohio State Highway Patrol officers assist with traffic control after the train derailment in East Palestine.
Cindy Walter, a resident of East Palestine, said she has been staying in hotels after developing health problems in her home. She explained since the derailment, she has had a series of doctors' visits, and now has to use an inhaler. Walter added she wants Norfolk Southern, the company responsible for the chemical spill, to pay for home air purifiers. According to the Ohio EPA, nearly 7,000 tons of excavated contaminated soil sits in piles waiting to be removed from the site.
