magnitude that is beyond its response
capabilities, the State Governor may
seek a declaration by the President that
a major disaster or emergency exists.
Any major disaster or emergency
request must be submitted through
FEMA, which evaluates the request and
makes a recommendation to the
President about what response action to
take. If the major disaster or emergency
declaration request is granted, the State
may be eligible to receive assistance
under 42 U.S.C. 5170a–5170c; 5172–
5186; 5189c–5189d; and 5192. A State

Abstract: When a disaster occurs in a
State, the Governor of the State or the
Acting Governor in his/her absence,
may request a major disaster declaration
or an emergency declaration. The
Governor should submit the request to
the President through the appropriate
Regional Administrator to ensure
prompt acknowledgement and
processing. The information obtained by
joint Federal, State, and local
preliminary damage assessments will be
analyzed by FEMA regional senior level
staff. The regional summary and the
regional analysis and recommendation
will include a discussion of State and
local resources and capabilities, and
other assistance available to meet the
disaster related needs. The
Administrator of FEMA provides a
recommendation to the President and
also provides a copy of the Governor’s
request. In the event the information
required by law is not contained in the
request, the Governor’s request cannot
be processed and forwarded to the
White House. In the event the
Governor’s request for a major disaster
declaration or an emergency declaration
is not granted, the Governor may appeal
the decision.
