SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, in a letter dated

emergency declaration under the
authority of the Robert T. Stafford

(the Stafford Act), as follows:
I have determined that the emergency
conditions in certain areas of the State of
Mississippi resulting from Hurricane Nate
beginning on October 6, 2017, and
continuing, are of sufficient severity and
magnitude to warrant an emergency
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance

Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such an
emergency exists in the State of Mississippi.
You are 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 are
authorized to provide assistance for
emergency protective measures (Category B),
including direct Federal assistance, under the
Public Assistance program.
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 for the approved
assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.
