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 Facilities while performing eligible emergency work.

FEMA finds the Applicant has not demonstrated the claimed damage was the direct result of the declared incident or that the Applicant damaged the Facilities during the performance of eligible emergency work. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
