SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: According to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5121, et
seq., FEMA is authorized to provide assistance before, during, and
after a disaster has impacted a State, Tribe, or Territory (STT). For a
major disaster, the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to direct any agency
to utilize its existing authorities and resources in support of STT
assistance response and recovery efforts. See 42 U.S.C. 5170(a)(1). For
an emergency, the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to direct any agency to
utilize its existing authorities and resources in support of STT
emergency efforts. See 42 U.S.C. 5192(a)(1). FEMA may task other
Federal agencies to assist during disasters and to support emergency
efforts by STT governments by issuing a mission assignment to the
appropriate agency. See 44 CFR 206.5, 206.208. FEMA collects the
information necessary to determine what resources are needed and if a
mission assignment is appropriate. The information collected explains
which STT requires assistance, what needs to be accomplished, details
any resource shortfalls, and explains what assistance is required to
meet these needs.
