3. Have any of the state governors declared a state of emergency?

"The governor of the state in which the disaster occurs must declare a state of emergency and formally request from the president that FEMA and the federal government respond to the disaster."

Only Mississippi has declared a major disaster, which appears to be a step down from declaring an emergency:
