Shelter-in-Place Lifted as Chevron Refinery Fire Dies Down

I am a victim of the Chevron Fire,and I had to suffer first because I had no way to flee,second;even after the smoke cleared,fumes and odor lingered like it was coming fro m under round. I think it made my cat sick too. head aches upset stomach,shortness of breath every time I had to go out. One thing I do not understand is why was'nt the North Richmond Clinic open for the Residents that were not able to fleeI don't even remember talkin to a lawyer,I did talk to someone at Chevron,I was told they only pay for Medical bills and property damage,what does that mean.
