How does Hurricane Sandy affect the government?

What has to happen to be a state of emergency?
In order to declare a state of emergency, there has to be a natural disaster, epidemic, or another event that dramatically effects a large area. Some examples of "state of emergency" events would be forest fires, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, etc.
What does it take for the President declare a state or town a Natural Disaster Area?
The Governor must request the declaration. Then a director from FEMA reviews the extend of the damage and makes a recommendation. Usually the President will visit or fly over the area and announce his decision. There have been over 2,000 Presidential Disaster Declarations since 1964.(the following paragraph is from FEMA's regulations)Declaration ProcessThe request for a declaration must come from the Governor or Acting Governor. Before sending a formal request letter to the President, the Governor will request that FEMA conduct a joint Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) with the State to verify damage and estimate the amount of supplemental assistance that will be needed. If the Governor believes that Federal assistance is necessary after this assessment is complete, the Governor sends a request letter to the President, directed through the Regional Administrator (RA) of the appropriate FEMA region. The RA reviews the request and forwards it with a recommendation to the Director of FEMA who, in turn, makes a recommendation to the President. In the aftermath of a significant event causing extensive damage and loss of life, the declaration process may be expedited. The President makes the decision whether to declare a major disaster or emergency. After the initial declaration, the person designated by the Governor as the Governor's Authorized Representative (GAR) may request additional areas to be eligible for assistance or for additional types of assistance as deemed necessary.

The government can declare a state of emergency when there is a significant threat to public safety or national security.

Can a govenor refuse to give control of a state's National Guard to the president?
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.
When was the last time martial law was used in US?
Its not something that's "used". It just happens. When there's chaos or the government falls apart. During Hurricane Katrina there was a state of martial law.Added: The above statement is only partly true, It does not "just happen." The Governor of a state or the President of the US can declare Martial Law.Added:Martial law was never declared during or after Katrina and the term does not exist under Louisiana state law. Furthermore martial law, or the suspension of habeas corpus, cannot be declared federally without the approval of congress and even then only in cases of rebellion or invasion. Individual states and the federal government can declare a state of emergency which is similar, but does not throw the Constitution out of the window.The last time the federal government applied martial law was in Hawaii during WW2 after the Pearl Harbor attack.Habeas Corpus, is "to see the body" it is a legal term meaning the judge wants the person before him, and martial law was declared in Katrina it does not take congress, that's the suspension of posse comitatus, the state governor can declare martial law and he did, in Katrina

What do you do if the girl who you had a crush on for 5 years was separated from you by Hurricane Katrina and you never did or will be able to tell her about your feelings?
Try to locate her and generally see how she is doing. If the friendship is returned, then declare your feelings. Perhaps she has been uprooted though, and she may still be going through some of that. Maybe the Red Cross will forward your message.
