provide technical and advisory assistance under Title V of the 
Stafford Act. You are also authorized to provide 75 percent 
reimbursement of reasonable eligible expenses incurred by the State 
and affected local governments in anticipation of and immediately 
preceding the predicted flooding.

    The time period prescribed for the implementation of section

Housing Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for a period not to exceed 
six months after the date of this declaration.
    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the authority vested in the 
Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under Executive
