For emergency protective measures to be eligible, the Applicant is responsible for showing the work is required due to an immediate threat. For example, work and costs of medical care may be eligible for primary, temporary, and expanded medical facilities. The Applicant did not show the PCLS and bathroom renovations were to respond to an immediate threat or associated with primary, temporary, and expanded medical facilities. FEMA establishes a minimum project threshold for each fiscal year. A project is not eligible if the total dollar value is less than the minimum threshold. After the reduction of the ineligible costs, the project cost falls under the minimum threshold of $3,300.00, and, therefore, the costs are not eligible for funding.

FEMA finds the PCLS is not an eligible emergency protective measure under FEMA’s COVID-19 policies, including FEMA’s Medical Care Policy. FEMA also finds the bathroom renovations are not eligible emergency protective measures. Further, the costs requested for the remaining supplies and PPE fall below the minimum project cost threshold. Therefore, the second appeal is denied.
