SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated December 8, 2006, the President declared a major disaster under
the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 (the Stafford Act), as follows:
I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Alaska resulting from severe storms, flooding, landslides, and
mudslides during the period of October 8-13, 2006, 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 Alaska.
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 Public Assistance in the
designated areas, Hazard Mitigation throughout the State, 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 Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs. If Other Needs Assistance under
Section 408 of the Stafford Act is later warranted, Federal funding
under that program 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 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Director, under Executive
Order 12148, as amended, William M. Lokey, of FEMA is appointed to act
as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this declared disaster.
I do hereby determine the following areas of the State of Alaska to
have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
Chugach Regional Educational Attendance Area, Copper River
Regional Educational Attendance Area, and the Kenai Peninsula
Borough for Public Assistance.
All boroughs and Regional Educational Attendance Areas in the
State of Alaska are eligible to apply for assistance under the
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
