Result of Declared Incident

Disaster Causation

HEADNOTES

FEMA may provide funding for the repair of a public facility damaged by a major disaster. FEMA may also provide funding to restore the integral ground that supports a facility if the eligible facility is damaged as a result of the incident. The Applicant’s maintenance records do not demonstrate the predisaster condition of the embankment adjacent to CR-6, at the specific site in question. More importantly, the Applicant has not demonstrated disaster-related damage to CR-6 itself. Thus, even if the embankment constitutes integral ground that supports CR-6, the claimed work is nonetheless ineligible because the embankment is not tied to an eligible facility damaged as a result of the disaster.

CONCLUSION

The Applicant has not demonstrated that CR-6 was damaged by the declared incident. Accordingly, work to repair the adjacent embankment is ineligible for funding.
