Failure To Declare Disaster Area Puts Silver Mine Fire Survivors In Bind
In Kellogg Idaho 91 miners died in a May 2 Sunshine silver mine fire leaving families without federal major disaster funds. A Lincoln director of the US Office of Emergency Preparedness said declaring a disaster would be unprecedented and possibly illegal. Idaho Governor Andrus voiced disappointment noting the declaration was the legal step needed for benefits and without it the survivors lose support. The incident impacted the Coeur d Alene mining district with the mine as a major local employer.
