certain areas of the State of Kansas resulting 

from severe storms, flooding, straight-line 

winds, and tornadoes during the period of 

April 25 to May 16, 2009, is of sufficient 

severity and magnitude to warrant a major 

disaster declaration under the Robert T. 

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the 

‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such 

a major disaster exists in the State of Kansas.

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses.

Assistance in the designated areas, Hazard 

Mitigation throughout the State, and any 

other forms of assistance under the Stafford 

Act that you deem appropriate. Consistent

is supplemental, any Federal funds provided 

under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance 

and Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 

percent of the total eligible costs. If Other 

Needs Assistance under Section 408 of the 

Stafford Act is later requested and warranted, 

Federal funding 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.
