the Havasupai Tribe resulting from severe storms, flooding, and 
landslides during the period of July 11 to July 12, 2018, is of 
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster

authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such

the Stafford Act for Public Assistance also will be limited to 75 
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
