I have determined that the emergency 

conditions in the District of Columbia 

resulting from the 56th Presidential 

Inauguration during the period of January 

17–21, 2009, are of sufficient severity and 

magnitude to warrant an emergency 

declaration under the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance 

Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 5121–5207 (the Stafford 

Act). Therefore, I declare that such an 

emergency exists in the District of Columbia. 

You are authorized to provide appropriate 

assistance for required emergency measures, 

authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act 

to save lives and protect public health and 

safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a 

catastrophe in the designated areas. 

Specifically, you are authorized to provide 

direct Federal assistance at 100 percent 

Federal funding for the period of January 17– 

21, 2009; and reimbursement of emergency 

protective measures (Category B), under the 

Public Assistance program, at 100 percent 

Federal funding for work performed on 

January 20, 2009. FEMA will reimburse for 

eligible emergency protective measures 

performed on January 20, 2009, only if the 

District has expended on the Presidential 

Inauguration during the period of January 

17–21, 2009, the $15 million appropriated to 

it for ‘‘Emergency Planning and Security 

Costs’’ by the Continuing Appropriations 

Resolution 2009, P.L. 110–329. In addition, 

you are authorized to provide such other 

forms of assistance under Title V of the

In order to provide Federal assistance, you 

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal emergency 

assistance and administrative expenses. 

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration to the extent 

allowable under the Stafford Act.
