the Cahuilla Band of Indians resulting from severe storms and 
flooding on February 14, 2019, is of sufficient severity and 
magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert

5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford Act''). Therefore, I declare that such 
a major disaster exists for the Cahuilla Band of Indians.

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.

for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
