SUMMARY:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Arkansas
resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and
flooding beginning on February 5, 2008, and
continuing, 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. 5121–5206 (the Stafford Act).
Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster
exists in the State of Arkansas.

measures (Categories A and B) under the
Public Assistance program in the designated
areas, Hazard Mitigation throughout the
State, and any other forms of assistance
under the Stafford Act that you deem
appropriate subject to completion of
Preliminary Damage Assessments (PDAs),
unless you determine that the incident is of
such unusual severity and magnitude that
PDAs are not required to determine the need
for supplemental Federal assistance pursuant
to 44 CFR 206.33(d). Direct Federal
assistance is authorized.
Consistent with the requirement that
Federal assistance be supplemental, any
Federal funds provided under the Stafford
Act for Hazard Mitigation will be limited to
75 percent of the total eligible costs. Federal
funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance also will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs, except for
any particular projects that are eligible for a
higher Federal cost-sharing percentage under
the FEMA Public Assistance Pilot Program
instituted pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 777. If Other
Needs Assistance is later warranted, Federal
funding under that program will also be
limited to 75 percent of the total eligible
costs.
Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration to the extent
allowable under the Stafford Act.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that
pursuant to the authority vested in the
Administrator, Department of Homeland
Security, under Executive Order 12148,
as amended, Philip E. Parr, of FEMA is
appointed to act as the Federal
Coordinating Officer for this declared
disaster.
I do hereby determine the following
areas of the State of Arkansas to have
been affected adversely by this declared
major disaster:
Baxter, Conway, Independence, Izard,
Pope, Randolph, Sharp, Stone, Union, and
Van Buren Counties for debris removal and
emergency protective measures (Categories A
