The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) is authorized by Public Law 90–
448 (1968) and expanded by Public Law
93–234 (1973). The National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968 requires that the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) provided flood insurance at full
actuarial rates reflecting the complete
flood risk to structures built or
substantially improved on or after the
effective date for the initial Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the
community, or after December 31, 1974,
whichever is later, so that the risks
associated with buildings in flood-prone
areas are borne by those located in such
areas and not by the taxpayers at large.
In accordance with Public Law 93–234,
the purchase of flood insurance is
mandatory when Federal or federally
related financial assistance is being
provided for acquisition or construction
of buildings located, or to be located,
within FEMA-identified special flood
hazard areas of communities that are
participating in the NFIP.

Notice is
hereby given that, in a letter dated
January 30, 2009, the President issued a
major disaster declaration under the
authority of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5207
(the Stafford Act), as follows:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Washington
resulting from a severe winter storm,
landslides, mudslides, and flooding during
the period of January 6–16, 2009, 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. 5121–5207 (the
Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare that such
a major disaster exists in the State of
Washington.
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 disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Individual
Assistance in the designated areas, Hazard
Mitigation throughout the State, and any
other forms of assistance under the Stafford
Act that you deem appropriate. Consistent
with the requirement that Federal assistance
be supplemental, any Federal funds provided
under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation
and Other Needs Assistance will be limited
to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. If
Public Assistance is later requested and
warranted, Federal funds provided 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 time period prescribed for the
implementation of section 310(a),
Priority to Certain Applications for
Public Facility and Public Housing
Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for
a period not to exceed six months after
the date of this declaration.
The Federal Emergency Management

12148, as amended, Willie G. Nunn, of
FEMA is appointed to act as the Federal
