Connecticut resulting from a severe storm during the period of

warrant an emergency declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

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 
Stafford Act.
