Tribal Governments and Federal Aid

The Sandy Recovery Improvement Act of 2013 (SRIA) amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) so federally recognized Indian tribal governments have the option to request a presidential emergency through normal channels or make major disaster declarations independently of the state in which they reside. A chief executive of a federally recognized tribal government may request that the president declare an emergency or major disaster for the tribal government or consider it as part of a state’s declaration request.
