Costs

Can local governments and other eligible entities hire vendors to provide advocacy and support for the PA reimbursement process? And are the vendor costs eligible for reimbursement?

Due to the strain on local government agencies and other eligible entities in dealing with a public health crisis of this magnitude and the extreme complexity of federal disaster reimbursement guidelines, FEMA subrecipients such as local governments can benefit from contracting with an experienced vendor to provide oversight and advocacy on their behalf through the PA reimbursement process. These vendor costs are eligible for reimbursement under this declaration and much of these costs can be offset by federal reimbursements.
