I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Delaware
resulting from a severe winter storm and
flooding during the period of January 22–23,
2016, is of sufficient severity and magnitude
to warrant a major disaster declaration under
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

seq. (the ‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare
that such a major disaster exists in the State
of Delaware.
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 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 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, with the
exception of projects that meet the eligibility
criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing
percentage under the Public Assistance
Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for
Debris Removal implemented pursuant to
section 428 of the Stafford Act.
Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration for the approved
assistance 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
Administrator, under Executive Order
12148, as amended, Donald L. Keldsen,
