Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

The Stafford Act approves that different forms of assistance both financial and technical shall be given to the states or local government when there is an overwhelming emergencies in that area that goes beyond the cumulative abilities of these two governments put together in such cases.

When there is no such act, the department or agency with primary legal authority may activate the coordinating structures appropriate to that authority.

The structures must align with the concepts and principles stipulated by the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
