follows:
I have determined that the emergency conditions in certain areas
of the State of California resulting from severe winter storms,
flooding, landslides, and mudslides beginning on March 9, 2023, and
continuing, are of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant an
emergency declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief

Act''). Therefore, I declare that such an emergency exists in the
State of California.

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), limited to 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.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
