With the Assistance for Local Heroes During Train Crises Act, we're aiming to improve community safety by enabling the swift declaration of hazardous train events and delivering crucial resources and reimbursements to local emergency response teams. This legislation focuses on ensuring these teams have the necessary funding to replace damaged equipment, cover overtime, and manage operational costs, enhancing their ability to protect public health and safety when a train carrying hazardous materials poses a threat.
