I have determined that the emergency

Therefore, I declare that such an emergency 

exists in the State of Florida. 

You are authorized to provide appropriate 

assistance for required emergency measures, 

authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act 

to save lives, protect public health and safety, 

and property or to lessen or avert the threat 

of a catastrophe in the designated areas. 

Specifically, you are authorized to provide 

emergency protective measures, (Category B), 

including direct Federal assistance, under the 

Public Assistance program. This assistance

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.

Federal assistance be supplemental, any 

Federal funds provided under the Stafford 

Act for Public Assistance will be limited to 

75 percent of the total eligible costs. For a 

period of up to 72 hours, assistance for

100 percent Federal funding of the total 

eligible costs. 

In order to provide Federal assistance, you

changes to this declaration to the extent 

allowable under the Stafford Act.
