What evacuation costs will FEMA pay for?

• Eligible activities include moving patients from compromised medical or care facilities and back, emergency medical transport, buses and other vehicles from pre-set pickup points (including driver standby), paratransit for seniors and people with disabilities, tracking evacuees and animals, food and water and medical care during transport, and advance mobilization in threatened areas.
• Ambulance staging must be part of a state, tribal, territorial or regional evacuation plan; funding ends when the area wasn’t impacted, evacuations and returns are complete, or demand returns to normal.
• Not eligible: ambulance costs covered by insurance, Medicare or Medicaid; self-evacuee transportation; and livestock, exhibition animals and reptiles other than turtles.

Evacuation orders, pickup and drop-off records, evacuee and animal tracking logs, and ambulance and transport invoices with insurance checks.
