In response to COVID-19, eligible emergency protective measures may include certain specific, limited measures implemented to facilitate the safe opening and operation of an eligible facility. FEMA may only provide assistance in response to COVID-19 declared events that is provided in accordance with a COVID-19 specific policy. The Applicant has not demonstrated that any of the costs are directly related to accomplishing specific emergency health and safety tasks as part of emergency protective measures associated with any eligible items or activity performed by its employees under any of FEMA’s COVID-19 policies, or any comparable activity that eliminates or lessens an immediate threat resulting from COVID-19.

FEMA finds that the Applicant has not demonstrated that the materials, rented equipment, or contract costs are eligible under FEMA’s COVID-19 policies.
