The Stafford Act grants FEMA discretionary authority to provide assistance that is essential to meet immediate threats to life and property resulting from a disaster. For emergency protective measures to be eligible, the applicant is responsible for showing the work is required due to an immediate threat resulting from the declared incident.

The Applicant was legally responsible for its students, but did not demonstrate that the evacuation and sheltering costs for its student-athletes are eligible emergency protective measures resulting from an immediate threat. Accordingly, this appeal is denied.
