I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico resulting from severe storms, flooding,
landslides, and mudslides on October 9–15,
2005, is of sufficient severity and magnitude
to warrant a major disaster declaration under
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

that such a major disaster exists in the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.

Assistance in the designated areas; Hazard
Mitigation island-wide for the principal
island of Puerto Rico within the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; and any other
forms of assistance under the Stafford Act
you may deem appropriate. Consistent with
the requirement that Federal assistance be
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. If Other
Needs Assistance under Section 408 of the
Stafford Act is later requested and warranted,
Federal funding under that program will also
be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible
