the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 (the Stafford Act), as follows:
I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Indiana, resulting from a tornado and severe storms on November
6, 2005, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major
disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 (the Stafford
Act). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in the
State of Indiana.
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 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 the Other Needs Assistance
under Section 408 of the Stafford Act will be limited to 75 percent
of the total eligible costs. If Public Assistance and Hazard
Mitigation are later requested and warranted, Federal funds provided
under these programs will also 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.
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.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Acting Director, under
Executive Order 12148, as amended, Brad Gair, of FEMA is appointed to
act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this declared disaster.
