I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Missouri resulting from severe storms, flooding, and a tornado
during the period of September 11-24, 2008, 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. 5121-5207 (the Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare that
such a major disaster exists in the State of Missouri.
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 Public
Assistance in the designated areas and Hazard Mitigation throughout
the State. Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance
be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act
for Hazard Mitigation and Other Needs Assistance will be limited to
75 percent of the total eligible costs. Federal funds provided under
the Stafford Act for Public Assistance also will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs, except for any particular
projects that are eligible for a higher Federal cost-sharing
percentage under the FEMA Public Assistance Pilot Program instituted
pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 777.
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.
