... any occasion or instance for which,
in the determination of the President,
Federal assistance is needed to
supplement State and local efforts and
capabilities to save lives and to protect
... public health and safety, or to lessen
or avert the threat of a catastrophe in
any part of the United States” (42
U.S.C. §5122(1)).
