Such a request shall be based on a finding that the disaster is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and the affected local governments and that Federal assistance is necessary. As part of such request, and as a prerequisite to major disaster assistance under this chapter, the Governor shall take appropriate response action under State law and direct execution of the State’s emergency plan. The Governor shall furnish information on the nature and amount of State and local resources which have been or will be committed to alleviating the results of the disaster, and shall certify that, for the current disaster, State and local government obligations and expenditures (of which State commitments must be a significant proportion) will comply with all applicable cost-sharing requirements of this chapter. Based on the request of a Governor under this section, the President may declare under this chapter that a major disaster or emergency exists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368534.post-1128372140465126042005-10-03T13:42:00.000-07:002005-10-03T13:42:00.000-07:00Good one!I feel sick when I look at the world and ...Good one!<BR/>I feel sick when I look at the world and the USA today and then think back to when the Democrats were at the helm. 9-11 or no 9-11, we would not be at war, killing our own people every day; our economy would not be in the toilet. Hurricane or no hurricane, there is no way that Gore or Kerry would have made such a horrible mess of everything. I am more proud of the oval office blow jobs than anything Bush has done.<BR/>Someone sent me an email about forcing politicians to pay for their own health care and retire on Social Security like the majority of Americans. Don't know if that would smarten-up any of them, but after trashing so much that wasn't broken as badly as it is now...Fancy Dirthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597051745811030365noreply@blogger.com
