Eligible emergency work includes emergency protective measures that are necessary to save lives and protect public health and safety. To be eligible for PA, the items of work must be required as a result of the disaster, and the emergency protective measures must eliminate or lessen immediate threats to lives, public health, or safety. Under the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration, FEMA may provide assistance for certain emergency protective measures, including security and law enforcement. The Applicant demonstrated that the security and barricading work are eligible emergency protective measures as a result of the COVID-19 emergency based on their respective uses in saving lives and protecting public health and safety of the Tribe.

The Applicant demonstrated the security work was required due to an immediate threat resulting from the declared incident and, accordingly, the FAL costs in the amount of $37,202.23 are eligible for PA funding. Therefore, this appeal is granted.
