SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated August 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 Florida, resulting from Hurricane Erin on August 2-3, 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 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 Individual Assistance and Hazard
Mitigation Assistance in the designated areas. Further, you are
authorized to provide reimbursement for debris removal under the
Public Assistance program. Other assistance under Public Assistance
may be added at a later date, 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 Michael J. Polny 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, Escambia and Okaloosa Counties for Individual Assistance.
Bay, Brevard, Escambia, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton Counties for
reimbursement for debris removal under the Public Assistance
program.
Bay, Brevard, Escambia, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton Counties for
Hazard Mitigation Assistance.
