I think they meant more in an flooding/natural disaster kind of a way. This is where I found it./.

The City of Cedar Falls has issued the following urgent announcements in light of the flooding:

A Presidential Disaster has been declared. People may call FEMA for assistance at 1-800-621-3362.

People with Gas and Electric Emergencies are directed to call 277-8119.

For people in the high ground area of North Cedar who now want to be evacuated, the National Guard has set up a shuttle with the assistance of Cedar Falls Schools to the Red Cross Evacuation Center in the McLeod Center

Answer 1

This has NOTHING to do with President Bush.   Liberals are crazy to infer this.   But they get away with,  because of a complicit media.

Answer 2

In order for certain federal assistance to be provided in a disaster, the president must declare the area a Federal disaster.  Aid such as FEMA, low interest loans, Coast guard and Federal troops require that a disaster be declared first.
