I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Rhode Island resulting from a severe winter storm and snowstorm
during the period of January 28 to January 29, 2022, is of
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in
the State of Rhode Island.
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 disaster assistance and
administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Public Assistance in the

further authorized to provide snow assistance under the Public
Assistance program for a limited period of time during or proximate

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.
