I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Rhode Island 

resulting from a severe winter storm and 

snowstorm during the period of January 26– 

28, 2015, is of sufficient severity and 

magnitude to warrant a major disaster 

declaration under the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance 

Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ‘‘Stafford 

Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such a major 

disaster exists in the State of Rhode Island. 

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 areas and 

Hazard Mitigation throughout the State. You 

are further authorized to provide snow 

assistance under the Public Assistance 

program for a limited period of time during 

or proximate to the incident period. 

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 

section 428 of the Stafford Act. 

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration for the approved 

assistance to the extent allowable under the
