Newsflash: so do the local and State officials. A call from the Governor is far more effective in an emergency than a call from a Senator.

Only if the governor calls and asks.

He hasn’t asked.

He can ask but he has no authority to officially ask/disptach send federal “assistance.”

That power solely resides with the governor.
