Per the PAPPG, at 60, costs for unused pre-positioned resources for evacuating, or providing emergency medical care during the evacuation period (such as ambulances and busses), may be eligible for PA funding. The PAPPG, at 66, includes mobilization of ambulances and other transport equipment as examples of necessary costs to prepare for evacuations. Here, the Applicant’s affidavits demonstrate that all the localities requested pre-positioned resources to support sheltering, not for evacuation or to provide emergency medical care. Although the Applicant states one locality requested generators to support, in part, continued evacuation efforts of the Commonwealth, it hasn’t demonstrated unused generators are the type of item contemplated as being allowed in FEMA policy. Finally, the costs associated with staging these items for re-deployment after they were returned to the Applicant are ineligible as they were not incurred during the evacuation period.

The Applicant has not demonstrated the unused pre-positioned resources were for either evacuating or providing emergency medical care during the evacuation period. Accordingly, this appeal is denied.
