therefore, declare that such an emergency

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes, such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster

protective measures under the Public 

Assistance program to save lives, protect 

public health and safety, and property. Other 

forms of assistance under Title V of the

you deem appropriate. You are further 

authorized to provide this emergency 

assistance in the affected areas for a period 

of 48 hours. You may extend the period of 

assistance, as warranted. This assistance 

excludes regular time costs for sub-grantees’

regular employees. Assistance under this
