magnitude to warrant an emergency

declaration under Title V, Section 501 (a) of

amended (‘‘the Stafford Act’’). I, therefore,

declare that such an emergency exists in the

State of Texas.

You are authorized to coordinate with

other Federal agencies to provide any form of

direct Federal assistance which you deem

appropriate for required emergency

measures, authorized under the Stafford Act,

to save lives, protect property and public

health and safety, and lessen or avert the

threat of a catastrophe in the designated

areas. You are also authorized to provide

reimbursement for the eligible costs

associated with the pre-staging of Emergency

Management Assistance Compact fire

suppression assets. In addition, you are

authorized to provide such other forms of

assistance under the Stafford Act, as you may

deem appropriate.

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.

Consistent with the requirement that Federal

assistance be supplemental, any Federal

funds provided under the Stafford Act will

be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible

costs.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant

to the authority vested in the Director of

the Federal Emergency Management

Agency under Executive Order 12148, I

hereby appoint Graham Nance of the

Officer for this declared disaster.
