How does the Stafford Act apply to the response to the Deep Horizon oil spill?

The Stafford Act does not apply to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The Stafford Act is meant to help states that have exhausted all local, county, and states resources to recover from a disaster. It would be unfair of the U.S. federal government to make Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida show they have exhausted all of their resources to combat the spill. Instead, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill has been given a special classifications of SONS (Spill Of National Significance). By doing so, this has opened up federal dollars to hep with the disaster.
