repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe storms,
straight-line winds and tornadoes in the counties of Arkansas,
Faulkner, Lonoke and Poinsett.

Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard
mitigation measures statewide.

Roland W. Jackson has been named Federal Coordinating Officer for
federal recovery operations in the affected areas.

the state and warranted by the results of further damage
assessments.
