SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated May 10, 1995, 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 Louisiana, resulting from severe storms, tornadoes and flooding
on May 8-9, 1995 is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant
a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (the Stafford Act). I,
therefore, declare that such a major disaster exists in the State of
Louisiana.
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. Public
Assistance may be added at a later date, if requested and warranted.
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. If warranted, for the first 72 hours, you are
authorized to fund direct Federal assistance at 100 percent of the
total eligible costs. You or your designee may extend the time
period for this direct Federal assistance funding, if necessary.
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.
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 G. Clay Hollister 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 Louisiana
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
St. Charles Parish for Individual Assistance.
