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 has not provided detailed documentation separating costs associated with potentially eligible work (e.g., cleaning and disinfection of eligible facilities and medical care/transport of confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients, or the purchase of specialized medical equipment necessary to respond to COVID-19) from ineligible work (e.g., routine EMS calls). Therefore, the Applicant has not provided adequate documentation to support its claim. FEMA may provide assistance for force account labor overtime costs that are directly tied to the performance of eligible work and adequately documented. The Applicant did not demonstrate that its claimed overtime costs for backfill employees are directly tied to the performance of eligible work implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

FEMA finds that the Applicant did not demonstrate that its claimed overtime and supply costs are directly tied to the performance of eligible work.
