exists in the State of California.
You are authorized to provide Disaster Unemployment Assistance
in the designated areas and any other forms of assistance under the
Stafford Act you may deem appropriate. 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
Disaster Unemployment Assistance and administrative expenses in the
designated areas.
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 Michael Lowder 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
California to have been affected adversely by this declared major
