I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky resulting from severe storms, flooding,
landslides, and mudslides beginning on July 26, 2022, and
continuing, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a
major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster

``Stafford Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster
exists in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

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 assistance for emergency

assistance, under the Public Assistance program in the designated
areas, Hazard Mitigation throughout the Commonwealth, and any other

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.
