SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated September 22, 1999, the President declared a major disaster under
the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), as follows:
I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Florida, resulting from Hurricane Floyd on September 13, 1999,
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, P.L. 93-288, as amended (``the
Stafford Act''). I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster
exists in the State of Florida.
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 Public Assistance and Hazard
Mitigation in the designated areas and any other forms of assistance
under the Stafford Act you may deem appropriate. Consistent with the
requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any Federal
funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance,
including direct Federal assistance, or Hazard Mitigation will 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.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the authority vested in the
Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under Executive
Order 12148, I hereby appoint David Rodham of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this
declared disaster.
I do hereby determine the following areas of the State of Florida
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
Brevard, Duval, Flagler, Indian River, Martin, Nassau, St.
Johns, St. Lucie, and Volusia Counties for Public Assistance.
All counties within the State of Florida are eligible to apply for
assistance under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
