FEMA is authorized to provide emergency protective measures to save lives and protect public health and safety. For emergency protective measures to be eligible, the Applicant is responsible for showing the work is required due to an immediate threat resulting from the declared incident. The Applicant did not directly tie the work to the performance of eligible work nor otherwise describe any emergency protective measures required due to an immediate threat resulting from the declared incident.

FEMA finds that the Applicant has not demonstrated that the FAL and associated employee meal costs were associated with eligible emergency protective measures. In addition, the Applicant did not demonstrate that the costs for meals for unsheltered residents meets the criteria outlined in FEMA policy. Therefore, the second appeal is denied.
