## Resource

After a massive chemical tank scare forced 50,000 people to evacuate their homes over Memorial Day weekend, GKN Aerospace is finally launching a claims program in early October to help residents and businesses recover costs from the chaos—including hotels, lost wages, meals, and travel. Though no charges were filed following the DA’s investigation, the company is also working on a court-approved safety plan for the facility, which will include new monitoring and upgraded systems—plus, the tank involved in the incident will never be used again. Community events, phone banks, and in-person claim centers are being set up to make the process easier for those affected.
