On April 27, 2011, I determined that the emergency conditions in certain areas of the State of Alabama resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and straight-line winds beginning on April 27, 2011, and continuing, are of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant an emergency declaration under the Robert T.

Further, you were authorized to make changes to this declaration for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the

Stafford Act.
