An applicant must report damages within 60 days of the Recovery Scoping Meeting. The Applicant did not report damages within the 60-day time period to four of the roads on appeal, therefore those repair costs are not eligible for PA funding. An applicant must demonstrate that an item of work is required as a result of the declared incident. Where damage occurs on roads that have been inundated by flood water, FEMA may provide funding for the repair of damage caused by flood water, and/or for road surface damage caused by emergency vehicles performing eligible emergency work, or single-access roads that were required to be reopened for emergency response purposes due to lack of detour/alternate routes, provided that all other PA eligibility requirements are met, including the requirement to provide documentation to support claimed damage. The Applicant did not demonstrate that the work to repair the fifth road was required as a result of the declared disaster, and therefore, it is not eligible for PA funding.

FEMA finds that the damages to four of the roads were not reported within the 60-day regulatory timeline. For the fifth road, the Applicant has not demonstrated that the work to repair the road is a result of the declared incident. Therefore, the appeal is denied.
