of the State of North Carolina resulting from Hurricane Earl 
beginning on September 1, 2010, and continuing, are of sufficient 
severity and magnitude to warrant an emergency declaration under the

that such an emergency exists in the State of North Carolina.

required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the 
Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public

authorized to provide assistance for emergency protective measures 
(Category B), including direct Federal assistance, under the Public 
Assistance program. This assistance excludes regular time costs for 
subgrantees' regular employees.

supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for 
Public Assistance will be limited to 75 percent of the total

hereby authorized to allocate from funds available for these 
purposes such amounts as you find necessary for Federal emergency 
assistance and administrative expenses.

for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
