severity and magnitude to warrant an emergency declaration under the

that such an emergency exists in the State of North Carolina.
    You are authorized to provide appropriate assistance for 
required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the 
Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public 
health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a 
catastrophe in the designated areas. Specifically, you are 
authorized to provide emergency protective measures (Category B), 
limited to direct Federal assistance and reimbursement for mass care 
including evacuation and shelter support in selected areas and 
emergency protective measures (Category B), limited to direct 
Federal assistance in the other designated areas.
    Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance be 
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for 
Public Assistance will be limited to 75 percent of the total 
eligible costs. 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 emergency 
assistance and administrative expenses.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 
Stafford Act.
