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 Kansas resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and straight line
winds during the period of March 12-13, 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 Kansas.
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 requested and 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 Acting Director, under
Executive Order 12148, as amended, Thomas J. Costello, 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 Kansas to
have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
Douglas and Wyandotte Counties for Public Assistance.
All counties within the State of Kansas are eligible to apply for
