During the incident period of February 5-6, 2008, severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flooding caused severe damage to several areas within the State of Tennessee. Tornadoes caused substantial damage to the Wynnewood State Historic Site (Site), located in Castalian Springs. FEMA prepared multiple Project Worksheets to account for Public Assistance (PA) funding to address repair and replacement work to some of the structures located at the Site. FEMA denied additional costs for work to repair hidden damages and building code upgrades, and the Applicant filed a first appeal. The Region IV Regional Administrator determined that (1) the applicant’s request for a change in the SOW was untimely and inadequate, and (2) the codes and standards upgrades for various PWs did not comply with federal regulation. The Applicant submitted a second appeal for reimbursement of costs, asserting they were required by mandatory building code upgrades.
