of Minnesota resulting from severe storms and tornadoes during the 

period of May 21-22, 2011, is of sufficient severity and magnitude 

to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such 

amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and 

administrative expenses.

Mitigation throughout the State. Consistent with the requirement 

that Federal assistance 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.

    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 

for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 

Stafford Act.
