2 Stafford Act The Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (Public Law ) is a federal law designed to bring an orderly and systemic means of federal natural disaster assistance for state and local governments in carrying out their responsibilities to aid citizens. The Stafford Act is a 1988 amended version of the Disaster Relief Act of 1974 (Public Law ). It created the system in place today by which a Presidential Disaster Declaration of an emergency triggers financial and physical assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Act gives FEMA the responsibility for coordinating government wide relief efforts. The Federal Response Plan it implements includes the contributions of 28 federal agencies and non- governmental organizations. In October 2000, Congress amended it again by passing the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law ).
