Major DECLARATION A major declaration is issued post-disaster when, in the determination of the President, damages are of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance to supplement the efforts and available resources of States, local governments, certain private nonprofit organizations (PNPs) and individuals. Major declarations open the door to the availability of disaster-related Stafford Act funding and technical assistance as well as Federal assistance under other authorities. A Stafford Act disaster declaration may also trigger Federal funding from other sources, such as U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Assistance programs may include: • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance (PA) • FEMA Individual Assistance (IA) • FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) • Direct Federal Assistance (DFA) • Community loans DFA comes through Mission Assignments from other Federal agencies. The President can issue a major declaration and authorize assistance under the Stafford Act for either PA, Hazard Mitigation (HM) and/or IA. Other Federal agencies can issue an administrative or agency declaration under their own authority. For example, the SBA Administrator can declare an SBA-only declaration, which activates the SBA disaster loan program. See the section on U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)/ Disaster Loans later in this Manual. 5.1 Declaration Process Page 2 of 6 Expedited DECLARATION An expedited declaration is a type of major declaration. It is issued when damages are so great or so apparent that a Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) is not required. For more on PDAs, see the following section. Process to Request a Presidential Declaration As a prerequisite to requesting a Presidential declaration, the Governor must first issue an emergency declaration regarding the incident for which the request for the Presidential declaration is made. After a State emergency declaration is made, the Governor makes the request for the Presidential disaster declaration by sending a letter to the President through the FEMA Regional Administrator (RA). The letter must state that: • The Governor certifies the event has overwhelmed State and local resources. • Federal assistance is required. • The Governor has issued a state of emergency. • The Governor has directed the execution of the State of Louisiana Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). There is other information required in the request to the President. The importance of this information cannot be overstated. Its quality, quantity and presentation determine the success or failure of the Governor’s request to the President. Most of this information is provided by Parish emergency management officials to the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) and includes: Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) A PDA is a joint assessment by FEMA, the State and the Applicant. It is used to determine the magnitude and impact of an event’s damage and is the basis for a Presidential declaration decision.
