of Vermont resulting from severe storms and flooding during the 
period of May 22-26, 2013 is of sufficient severity and magnitude to 
warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

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

Stafford Act for Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation 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.
