FEMA cannot provide assistance for disaster-related losses that would duplicate benefits available to an applicant from another source; including insurance. When two or more entities agree to share risk under a contractual agreement; FEMA defines the agreement as an insurance pool.The policy with FCSRMC is a contractual agreement that indemnifies the Applicant in the event of loss by obligating FCSRMC to provide payment for damages.Consequently; FEMA reductions of funding under PWs 1218 and 1624 were proper; as FCSRMC was responsible for reimbursing the Applicant costs to repair disaster-related damages; including the costs on appeal.
