Best Answer

Yes, the most recent occurrence of this was Hurricane Katrina. President Bush wanted the Governor of Louisiana (Kathleen Blanco) to declare a state of emergency which would activate the State's National Guard. However it was her decision to do so. However, she did within 24 hours of him requesting her to do so. The only exception is if the "situation" involves multiple states which would give the federal government jurisdiction.
