I have determined that the emergency 

conditions in certain areas of the State of 

Rhode Island resulting from severe storms

magnitude to warrant an emergency

public health and safety, and to lessen or 

avert the threat of a catastrophe in the 

designated areas. Specifically, you are 

authorized to provide assistance for 

emergency protective measures (Category B), 

limited to direct Federal assistance, under 

the Public Assistance program. This 

assistance excludes regular time costs for 

subgrantees’ regular employees. In addition, 

you are authorized to provide such other 

forms of assistance under Title V of the 

Stafford Act as you may deem appropriate. 

Consistent with the requirement that

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration for the approved

Security, under Executive Order 12148, 

as amended, Craig A. Gilbert, of FEMA

Coordinating Officer for this declared 

emergency.
