West Virginia; Amendment No. 5 to Notice of a Major Disaster
Declaration
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster declaration
for the State of West Virginia (FEMA-4861-DR), dated February 26, 2025,
and related determinations.
DATES: This amendment was issued June 19, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dean Webster, Office of Response and
Recovery, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2833.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated June 19, 2025, the President amended the cost-sharing
arrangements regarding Federal funds provided under the authority of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42
U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford Act''), in a letter to David E.
Richardson, Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Administrator,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland Security,
under Executive Order 12148, as follows:
I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of West Virginia resulting from a severe storm, straight-line winds,
flooding, landslides, and mudslides during the period of February 15
to February 18, 2025, is of sufficient severity and magnitude that
special cost sharing arrangements are warranted regarding Federal
funds provided under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford
Act'').
Therefore, I amend my declaration of February 26, 2025, to
authorize Federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance at
90 percent of total eligible costs.
This adjustment to State and local cost sharing applies only to
Public Assistance costs and direct Federal assistance eligible for
such adjustments under the law. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act specifically prohibits a similar
adjustment for funds provided for Other Needs Assistance (Section
408) and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (Section 404). These
funds will continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total eligible
costs.
The following Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers
(CFDA) are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030,
Community Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora Brown Fund; 97.032, Crisis
Counseling; 97.033, Disaster Legal Services; 97.034, Disaster
Unemployment Assistance (DUA); 97.046, Fire Management Assistance
Grant; 97.048, Disaster Housing Assistance to Individuals and
Households In Presidentially Declared Disaster Areas; 97.049,
Presidentially Declared Disaster Assistance--Disaster Housing
Operations for Individuals and Households; 97.050, Presidentially
Declared Disaster Assistance to Individuals and Households--Other
Needs; 97.036, Disaster Grants--Public Assistance (Presidentially
Declared Disasters); 97.039, Hazard Mitigation Grant.
David E. Richardson,
Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Administrator, Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
