The Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to provide assistance essential to perform work that reduces or eliminates immediate threats to lives; public health; or safety; or to improved property resulting from a major disaster.The work is ineligible for Public Assistance (PA) funding because the Applicant documentation shows the work is predicated on a potential future event; a drought; and; together with the Applicant lengthy time delay and failure to commence work on the project outside of its normal operations; shows no existing immediate threat from the disaster.Emergency work must be completed within 6 months of the major disaster declaration date unless extended by the grantee or FEMA when an applicant encounters extenuating circumstances or unusual project requirements beyond its control.The Applicant disagreement with the amount of obligated funding and worksite access restrictions do not justify an additional time extension to complete work to be eligible for PA funding.
