FEMA provides PA funding for mosquito abatement under limited circumstances based on specific criteria per FEMA guidelines. Abatement measures must comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations concerning vector control. The Applicant did not provide documentation showing that appropriately trained and certified applicators applied EPA approved insecticides according to label directions and precautions. Nor did it provide information/documentation, such as spray maps, establishing when, by which method (i.e., ground/aerial), and where chemical spraying occurred that would enable FEMA to verify compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations.

The Applicant has not demonstrated that the mosquito abatement work met specific eligibility criteria required by FEMA policy. Additionally, the helicopter costs are indirect management costs, and as such, are not provided directly to the Applicant. Therefore, the appeal is denied.

Stafford Act §§ 403, 324. 44 C.F.R. §§ 206.225(a), 207.2, 207.4(c). PAPPG, at 36-37, 39, 58, 70, 127, 141, 178-179.
