FEMA is authorized to provide funding for 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 show the work was required due to an immediate threat resulting from the declared incident.

FEMA finds that the Applicant has not provided information to demonstrate that the claimed work is an emergency protective measure required due to an immediate threat and has not provided information to support granting additional funding for material costs. On second appeal, the Applicant has clarified that rental costs were $2,204.38. Therefore, FEMA denies the appeal, and reduces funding for eligible rental costs from $4,408.04 to $2,204.38.
