To be eligible, an item of work must be required as a result of the declared incident. The Applicant has not provided documentation that distinguishes pre-existing damage and deterioration from disaster-related damage. If an applicant damages property while performing eligible emergency work, the repair of that damage may be eligible as part of that respective emergency work project. The Applicant did not demonstrate that it damaged the Facility while performing eligible emergency work. Instead, it claims a different applicant damaged the Facility during debris removal operations.

The Applicant has not demonstrated that the claimed damages were a direct result of the declared incident or that the Applicant damaged the Facility during the performance of eligible emergency work. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
