On April 27, 2011, I determined that the emergency conditions in certain areas of the State of Alabama resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and straight-line winds beginning on April 27, 2011, and continuing, are of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant an emergency declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (‘‘the Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declared that such an emergency exists in the State of Alabama. In order to provide Federal assistance, you were authorized to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in the designated areas. Specifically, you were authorized to provide assistance for emergency protective measures (Category B), limited to direct Federal assistance, under the Public Assistance program. This assistance excludes regular time costs for subgrantees’ regular employees. Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance is 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 were authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes, such amounts as you find necessary for Federal emergency assistance and administrative expenses. Further, you were authorized to make changes to this declaration for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the Stafford Act. Dated: May 19, 2011. Lesia M.
