Chapter 7: Emergency Work Eligibility
PA provides assistance for two types of emergency work following a presidential declaration which are crucial to disaster response and recovery efforts. Financial assistance and technical support are available to ensure the efficient and effective execution of debris removal and emergency protective measures. The goal is to minimize the negative impacts of disasters and promote a swift recovery for affected communities.
Proper implementation of these components is essential for communities to regain stability, ensure public safety, and restore essential services following a disaster.
