Q

How does getting assistance from state/federal levels work in a disaster?

A

If the disaster is on a larger scale or a high complexity, the local government petitions the state for support.

If the state can’t handle it without help, the Governor requests help from the president (Federal Stafford Act allows this)

If the response is catastrophic, resources from multiple jurisdictions, agencies and levels of government will be used.
