    I have determined that the emergency conditions in certain areas 
of the Commonwealth of Kentucky resulting from severe storms, 
straight-line winds, flooding, and tornadoes beginning on December 
10, 2021, and continuing, are of sufficient severity and magnitude 
to warrant an emergency 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 an emergency 
exists in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
    You are authorized to provide appropriate assistance for 
required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the 
Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public 
health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a 
catastrophe in the designated areas. Specifically, you are 
authorized to provide assistance for emergency protective measures 
(Category B), including direct Federal assistance under the Public 
Assistance program.

    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 order to provide Federal assistance, you are 
hereby authorized to allocate from funds available for these 
purposes such amounts as you find necessary for Federal emergency 
assistance and administrative expenses.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 
Stafford Act.
