Re: Dallas County to discuss requesting an emergency declaration from the state because of Ebola
I've seen some reports of this I believe to be credible. I believe the main purpose is to give authorities the legal authority to restrict the travel of people being monitored. I will try to provide some more authoritative links unless someone else does first.

"Approval of the proposed order would implement the county?s emergency management system, according to the declaration."
Yes. The declaration will free resources that would otherwise be applied elsewhere. Also I expect that authorities will have more legal authority or at least provide them with the tools/access to gain them

It might also give them access to federal funds to help with extra expenses!
