To be eligible for financial assistance, an item of work must be required as the result of the emergency or major disaster event. The documentation submitted by the Applicant does not demonstrate that the work to replace the roof is a result of the disaster. The CEF provides a uniform method of estimating costs for large projects designed to capture the detailed construction costs required to complete the eligible SOW. The documentation provided by the Applicant does not demonstrate that the original CEF should be amended or increased.

FEMA finds the documentation submitted by the Applicant does not demonstrate that the work to repair the claimed damage is required as a result of the disaster and provides no basis to increase the costs. Therefore, the appeal is denied.
