I have determined that the emergency
conditions in the State of Alabama resulting

29, 2008, and continuing, are of sufficient
severity and magnitude to warrant an

an emergency exists in the State of Alabama.
You are authorized to provide appropriate

to save lives, protect property and public
health and safety, or to lessen or avert the
threat of a catastrophe in the designated
areas. Specifically, you are authorized to
provide assistance for emergency protective
measures (Category B), including direct
Federal assistance, under the Public
Assistance program. This assistance excludes
regular time costs for subgrantees’ regular
employees. In addition, you are authorized to
provide such other forms of assistance under
Title V of the Stafford Act as you may deem
appropriate.
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 to the extent
allowable under the Stafford Act.
