                        I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State of New Hampshire resulting from a severe storm and flooding during the period of March 2-8, 2018, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T.

Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in the State of New Hampshire.                    

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 disaster assistance and administrative expenses.

You are authorized to provide Public Assistance in the designated area and Hazard Mitigation throughout the State. Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs.
