I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of West Virginia 

resulting from severe storms, flooding, 

landslides, and mudslides during the period 

of May 28 to June 3, 2018, is of sufficient 

severity and magnitude to warrant a major

‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such 

a major disaster exists in the State of West

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster

Assistance in the designated areas 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. Federal 

funds provided under the Stafford Act for 

Public Assistance also will be limited to 75 

percent of the total eligible costs, with the 

exception of projects that meet the eligibility 

criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing 

percentage under the Public Assistance 

Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for 

Debris Removal implemented pursuant to

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration for the approved
