Result of Declared Incident

Disaster Causation

HEADNOTES

To be eligible for PA funding, an item of work must be required as a result of the disaster. The documentation provided by the Applicant does not enable FEMA to verify the predisaster condition of the Facility’s roof. Post-disaster assessments of the disaster’s impact conflict with the Applicant’s contractor’s assessment, and indicate pre-existing damage to roofing surfaces. As a result, FEMA determines that the Applicant has not demonstrated the clear presence of disaster-related damage, nor has it demonstrated damage to the Facility’s roof to such an extent that it required replacement.

CONCLUSION

The Applicant has not demonstrated that work to replace the Facility’s roof is required as a result of the disaster. Such work is ineligible for PA funding. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
