<br />Q. FEMA deferred its decision on other elements of the County's PPDR request, such as
<br />foundation removal, pending submission of additional information concerning economic
<br />recovery.
<br />R. On March 1, 2022, FEMA granted the County's request for additional public assistance
<br />funding to expedite economic recovery in the affected communities. Pursuant thereto,
<br />FEMA issued the following, consolidated list of types of hazardous Disaster -caused debris
<br />that are eligible for PPDR:
<br />a. Removal of surface ash, which may include three to six inches of incidental soil;
<br />b. Removal of burned vehicles;
<br />c. Removal of structural footings, foundations, and basements;
<br />d. Burned debris from the remains of homes that are clearly destroyed, including
<br />burned or partially burned furniture, personal belongings, household appliances,
<br />and patio furniture;
<br />i. This does not include burned or partially burned stone, sidewalks/concrete
<br />walkways on private property, landscaping features, or statues.
<br />e. Hazardous materials and pollutants; and
<br />£ Chimneys, trees, and unsupported walls that are hazardous to debris removal crews.
<br />S. In order to receive FEMA Public Assistance (PA) funding for PPDR, the County must
<br />undertake measures to avoid duplications of benefits, including by assisting the federal
<br />government in recovering any insurance or other proceeds that are paid to any private party
<br />for PPDR for which federal aid or reimbursement was received. See 42 U.S.C. § 5155, 44
<br />C.F.R. § 206.253(a), and 2 C.F.R. § 200.406. If a property owner receives assistance for PPDR
<br />from any third party, the state and local governments must facilitate reporting and recovering
<br />these amounts for FEMA.
