FEMA Denies West Texas Major Disaster Declaration
FEMA rejects a request for a major disaster declaration for West Texas after a deadly fertilizer plant blast that killed 15 people and damaged homes and a school. The decision limits access to broad public assistance and long term reconstruction funds, leaving aid at roughly seven million dollars approved so far and hindering debris removal reimbursement.
