    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Hawaii, resulting from severe storms and flooding beginning on 
October 28, 2000 and continuing through November 2, 2000, is of 
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster

Act), as amended by Pub. L. 106-390, October 30, 2000. I, therefore, 
declare that such a major disaster exists in the State of Hawaii.
    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 Individual Assistance, Public 
Assistance, and Hazard Mitigation in the designated areas. 
Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance be 
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for 
Public Assistance or Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent 
of the total eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
to the extent allowable under the Stafford Act.
