Answer:

The correct answer is : True

Step-by-step explanation:

When an incident is present or when the country or state is being threatened and the local governments are overwhelmed so that it doesn't have the capability to give a response, The Stafford Act authorizes the president to declare a "major disaster" or "emergency". This federal law carries out their responsibilities to aid citizens.
