    I have determined that the emergency conditions in the State of 
Idaho, resulting from the influx of evacuees from states impacted by 
Hurricane Katrina beginning on August 29, 2005, and continuing, is 
of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant an emergency

Therefore, I declare that such an emergency exists in the State of

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

protective measures (Category B), including direct Federal 
assistance, under the Public Assistance program, at 100 percent 
Federal funding. This assistance excludes regular time costs for 
subgrantees' regular employees. In addition, you are authorized to 
provide such other forms of assistance under Title V of the Stafford 
Act as you may deem appropriate.
    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 
to the extent allowable under the Stafford Act.
