I have determined that the impact in 

certain areas of the State of Oklahoma 

resulting from the record snow and near 

record snow during the period of March 27– 

28, 2009, is of sufficient severity and 

magnitude to warrant an emergency 

declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

emergency exists in the State of Oklahoma.

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses.

protective measures, including snow 

removal, under the Public Assistance

and public health and safety. Other forms of 

assistance under Title V of the Stafford Act 

may be added at a later date, as you deem 

appropriate. This emergency assistance will 

be provided for any continuous 48-hour 

period during or proximate to the incident 

period. You may extend the period of 

assistance, as warranted. This assistance 

excludes regular time costs for the subgrantees’ regular employees. Consistent with 

the requirement that 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 in the designated areas. 

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration to the extent 

allowable under the Stafford Act.
