of the State of Florida resulting from the Surfside Building 
Collapse beginning on June 24, 2021, and continuing, are of 
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant an emergency

Act''). Therefore, I declare that such an emergency exists in the 
State of Florida.

required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the 
Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public 
health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a 
catastrophe in the designated areas. Specifically, you are 
authorized to provide the Individuals and Households Program under 
Section 408 of the Stafford Act and assistance for debris removal 
and emergency protective measures, including direct Federal 
assistance, under the Public Assistance program.
    Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance is 
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for 
Public Assistance and Other Needs Assistance under section 408 will 
be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. 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 emergency assistance and administrative 
expenses.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
for the approved
