Landslides and Slope Stabilization, Result of Declared Incident

Disaster Causation

HEADNOTES

To be eligible, work must be required as a result of the declared incident. The applicant is responsible for providing documentation to support its claim as eligible and show that work is required to address damage caused by the disaster. FEMA’s Site Inspectors did not observe instability in the embankment during the site inspection, and the Applicant’s boring logs and soils analysis do not demonstrate instability in the embankment resulting from the disaster. The Applicant has not demonstrated damage to the road’s asphalt surface resulting from the disaster. The available documentation indicates that the road, including the damaged section on appeal, was at or near the end of its service life at the time of the disaster.

CONCLUSION

The Applicant has not demonstrated that items of work to repair damage to its road and embankment are necessary as a result of the disaster. Such work is ineligible for PA funding. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
