I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky resulting from severe storms, straight-line
winds, tornadoes, landslides, and mudslides during the period of May
21 to May 27, 2024, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to
warrant a major disaster 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 a major
disaster exists in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
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 Individual Assistance and Public
Assistance in the designated areas and Hazard Mitigation throughout
the Commonwealth. Consistent with the requirement that Federal
assistance be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the
Stafford Act for Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, and Other
Needs Assistance under section 408 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.
The time period prescribed for the implementation of section
310(a), Priority to Certain Applications for Public Facility and Public
Housing Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for a period not to exceed
six months after the date of this declaration.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
