Washington September 22, 1999 - The head of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) announced today that federal disaster aid was
made available to help families and businesses in four central
Pennsylvania counties recover from flash floods spawned by Tropical
Depression Dennis earlier this month.

FEMA Director James Lee Witt said President Clinton authorized the
assistance under a major disaster declaration issued for the state this
afternoon. The declaration covers damage to private property from the
flooding that occurred September 6-7.

Under the declaration, Witt said affected residents and business owners
are eligible to apply for federal assistance in the counties of Lycoming,
Northumberland, Snyder and Union.

The assistance, to be coordinated by FEMA, can include grants to help pay
for temporary housing, minor home repairs and other serious
disaster-related expenses. Low-interest loans from the U.S. Small Business
Administration also will be available to cover residential and business
losses not fully compensated by insurance.

Additionally, Witt said federal funds also will be available to the state
on a cost-shared basis for approved projects that reduce future disaster
risks.

Witt, who designated the areas eligible for assistance following the
declaration, indicated that more counties and additional forms of
assistance for state and local government agencies may be designated later
if requested and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.

Jack Schuback, of FEMA's regional office in Philadelphia, was named by
Witt to coordinate the federal relief effort. Schuback said residents and
business owners who sustained hurricane losses in the designated counties
can begin the disaster application process on Thursday, September 23, by
calling 1-800-462-9029, or 1-800-462-7585 (TTY) for the hearing and speech
impaired. The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 8 a.m. to 6
p.m. seven days a week until further notice.

Washington Washington September 22, 1999 -- Federal disaster funds were
authorized today to help communities in New Mexico recover from the
effects of recent floods in the western part the state, according to the
head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

FEMA Director James Lee Witt said the aid was authorized under President
Clinton's major disaster declaration issued for the state this afternoon

Immediately after the President's action, Witt designated the counties of
Dona Ana, Luna, Mora, Rio Arriba, San Juan, Sandoval, Sierra and the
Mescalero Indian Reservation eligible for federal funding to affected
local governments. He indicated that additional jurisdictions may be
qualified for assistance later if requested and warranted by the results
of further damage assessments.

Under the declaration, Witt said the federal government will pay 75
percent of the approved costs for debris removal, emergency services
related to the disaster, and restoring damaged public property, such as
roads, buildings and utilities. Federal funds also will be available to
the state on a cost-shared basis for approved projects that reduce future
disaster risks.

Joe D. Bray, of FEMA's regional office in Denton, Texas, was named by Witt
to coordinate the federal relief effort. Bray said that procedures for
requesting assistance will be explained at a series of applicant briefings
at locations to be announced shortly in the affected areas.
