Narrative:
During cruise flight with about 45 minutes to landing; we received a status message for 'loss of cabin automatic system.' during descent; we then got an EICAS message with caution lights for loss of both cabin automatic pressurizations systems. We accomplished quick reference handbook procedures and declared an emergency per that procedure. First officer handled the manual pressurization and flight continued to uneventful landing.
