I have determined that the emergency conditions in certain areas

an emergency exists in the State of New York.

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.
