Amid the ongoing response to the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, some have questioned why the state has not yet received assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA).

"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.

However, the statement went on to note that FEMA has advised DeWine that "Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time."

The statement by DeWine's office comes several days after the train, operated by Norfolk Southern, derailed in East Palestine. Some of the train's cars were carrying toxic chemicals, including vinyl chloride, butyl acrylate, ethylhexyl acrylate and ethylene glycol monobutyl.
