Note the key word "may," which in this case more precisely means "might but probably won't." "May" always expresses a possibility, not a definitive. Let's read clause 5 again:
"School and municipal buses ... may [i.e., "might but probably won't"] be used [by whom? well, no one knows...] to provide transportation..."

Hi Make sure you read this part:
"...and as a prerequisite to emergency assistance under this Act, the Governor shall take appropriate action under State law and direct execution of the State's emergency plan."
Shall is pretty clear there.
