SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major
disaster for the Commonwealth of Virginia (FEMA-1059-DR), dated July 1,
1995, and related determinations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Pauline C. Campbell, Response and Recovery Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3606.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated July 1, 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
Commonwealth of Virginia, resulting from severe storms and flooding
on June 22, 1995 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 (``the
Stafford Act''). I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster
exists in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
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 and Public
Assistance in the designated areas. Hazard Mitigation may be
designated at a later date, if warranted. Further, you may provide
direct Federal assistance for emergency work at 100 percent Federal
funding for 72 hours following declaration, if warranted. Consistent
with the requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any
Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance
and Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs.
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 Robert J. Gunter 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 Commonwealth of
Virginia to have been affected adversely by this declared major
disaster:
Greene County for Individual Assistance only;
The City of Buena Vista and the Counties of Madison and
Rockbridge for Individual Assistance and Public Assistance; and
The City of Lexington for Public Assistance only.
