I have determined that the emergency conditions in certain areas

an emergency exists in the State of Florida.

including direct Federal assistance in selected areas and emergency
protective measures (Category B), limited to direct Federal

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
