and rescue teams to respond to this event as authorized under 
subsection 502(a) of the Stafford Act.
    In addition, you are authorized to provide such other forms of 
emergency assistance as you may deem necessary.
    Emergency assistance which you provide pursuant to this 
declaration will be at 75 percent Federal funding.

    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 Carolyn J. Coleman of the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer
