The question concerning a pandemic flu event and would it be eligible to be a Presidentially Declared disaster under the auspices of the Stafford Act has been debated for a long time.

I think this CRS report, "Would an Influenza Pandemic Qualify as a Major Disaster Under the Stafford Act?" Provides the answer.

Bill Cumming (who else?) shared this information with us.
