Facility Restorations

Parks, Recreational Areas, and Other Facilities. Roads,

Detailed Discussion

FEMA provides  assistance  for restoration of publicly  owned  Parks, Recreational Areas, and Other Facilities. Roads, buildings, and utilities within parks and recreation areas are eligible (see Roads, Buildings, and Utilities). Facilities, such as fish hatcheries, that  do not  fit into  Categories C-F, are considered “Other”  in Category  G (Parks, Recreational Areas, and  Other Facilities). Additional recreational features, such as playground equipment, ball fields, swimming pools, tennis courts, boat docks and ramps, piers, and golf courses are also eligible. FEMA does not pay for the restoration of natural features such as stream channels, hillsides, trees, and landscaping. Improved and maintained natural features such as those on golf courses and ball fields are eligible for restoration. However, grass and sod on any area are eligible only when necessary to stabilize slopes and minimize sediment runoff  (see Trees, Shrubs, and Other Ground Cover). Repairs to beaches may be eligible in limited  circumstances (see Beaches).

Private Nonprofit parks and  recreational facilities are not  eligible  for public assistance (see Categories of Work).
