To be eligible for PA funding, work must be required as a result of the declared incident. FEMA does not provide funding for repair of damage caused by deterioration or deferred maintenance. It is the applicant’s responsibility to demonstrate that claimed damage was directly caused by the incident, and where pre-existing damage exists, to distinguish that damage from the disaster-related damage. The Applicant has not substantiated that the additional claimed roadway repairs are required as a direct result of the declared incident.

The Applicant has not shown that the additional claimed work at issue on appeal is required as a result of the declared incident. Therefore, the appeal is denied.
