I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State of 
Wisconsin, resulting from severe storms, tornadoes and flooding on 
September 2, 2002, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to 
warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

(Stafford Act). I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster 
exists in the State of Wisconsin.
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 Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, and the Individual and 
Family Grant program will 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 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.
    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 Gracia Szczech of the Federal Emergency
