Under the COVID-19 O&O Policy, FEMA may provide assistance for certain emergency protective measures, including personal protective equipment, cleaning and disinfection, and purchasing and installing temporary physical barriers. The costs for PPE, disinfection supplies, and sneeze guards are eligible emergency protective under the O&O policy. However, the Applicant has not demonstrated the costs for remote work and other items for reopening were eligible emergency protective measures to safely open and operate a facility.

The Applicant demonstrated that $837.44 for PPE, disinfection supplies, and sneeze guards are eligible emergency protective measures in response to COVID-19. The remaining $1,081.34 in costs are denied because the Applicant has not demonstrated it performed eligible emergency protective measures to safely open and operate a facility. The appeal is partially approved in the amount of $837.44.
