I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Indiana, resulting 

from severe winter storms and flooding 

beginning on January 1, 2005, and 

continuing, is of sufficient severity and 

magnitude to warrant a major disaster 

declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses.

Assistance in the designated areas; Hazard 

Mitigation throughout the State; and any

be supplemental, any Federal funds provided 

under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation 

and the Other Needs Assistance under 

section 408 of the Stafford Act will be limited 

to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. If 

Public Assistance is later requested and 

warranted, Federal funds provided under 

that program will also 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
