The  owner  of a facility is responsible for determining the  extent of damage incurred. FEMA does not provide funds for random surveys to look for damage, such as video inspection of sewer lines. However, if damage  is discovered during a random survey, FEMA will provide funds for inspecting the  section  of the  utility line in which the  damage  was found. If disaster- related damage is evident,  FEMA may pay for inspections to determine the extent of the damage and method of repair.

While FEMA may pay for restoration of damaged utilities,  FEMA does not provide funds for increased operating expenses resulting from a disaster or for lost revenue if a utility is shut down. However, the cost of establishing temporary emergency services inthe event of a utility shut-down may be eligible (e.g., providing a temporary sewage facility or temporary arrangements to bypass a damaged facility).
