National Guard units can be mobilized at any time by presidential order to supplement regular armed forces, and upon declaration of a state of emergency by the governor of the state or territory in which they serve

The governor of a state can call up the National Guard units of the state in the case of state emergency, especially natural disasters.
With Congressional approval, the President can federalize National Guard units.

The National Guard is under the Governor of each State, however, the Federal Government can request those resources.

The first guy who answered....wow psycho. Anyways the guard maintains dual status. They can be called up by the Governor for humanitarian missions and the president for anything.
