FEMA may provide assistance to eligible PA applicants for measures implemented to reduce immediate threats to public health and safety, as well as certain measures to facilitate the safe opening and operation of eligible facilities in response to COVID-19, which may include the purchase and distribution of PPE, cleaning and disinfection, and temporary physical barriers or signage to support social distancing.
The Applicant has not demonstrated that the purchase of mobile whiteboards and canopies were associated with eligible emergency protective measure in response to COVID-19. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
