the Posse comitatus Act does not necessarily apply in cases of "a sudden and unexpected civil disturbance, disaster, or calamity . . .

This is interesting. Who decides when the situation meets this definition? President, governor? Seems to me that under certain situations, this could be applied pretty broadly. In that case, so long Posse Comitatus Act.

The Governors and or the President can make this decisions.
