    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 

of Vermont resulting from severe storms and flooding during the 

period of April 23 to May 9, 2011, is of sufficient severity and 

magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert

a major disaster exists in the State of Vermont.

authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such 

amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and 

administrative expenses.

Assistance in the designated areas and Hazard Mitigation throughout 

the State. Direct Federal assistance is authorized. Consistent with 

the requirement that Federal assistance is supplemental, any Federal 

funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance, Hazard 

Mitigation, and Other Needs Assistance will be limited to 75 percent 

of the total eligible costs.

    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 

for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 

Stafford Act.
