HI All, here is FEMA Region Ten update 7-29-20

Subject: RX Public Assistance COVID-19 FEMA Daily Update 7.29.2020

Good afternoon,

Here's today's short update! Please keep letting us know how we can assist you, and if there are any particular topics or questions you'd like to be addressed.

Continuing discussions on Category B eligibility:  There continue to be questions about eligibility of various costs under Category B, and we are in pretty regular communication with HQ and the other regions as questions come up.  FEMA HQ has been consistently providing answers to policy questions that distinguish eligibility of Category B measures based on whether the activities/costs in question are in direct support of otherwise eligible work.  Costs such as PPE, cleaning and disinfection, providing governmental/essential remote services and others have been determined to be eligible only if they are related to otherwise eligible EPM, such as EOC operation, medical care and first responders.  So far we are seeing this determination consistently in response to specific questions, and HQ  has let us know they are working on new guidance to this effect. Our understanding is that the new guidance will have an effective date, and will not be retroactive.  At this time, we are continuing to look at costs on a case by case basis in accordance with current guidance; please let your PA lead know any specific questions or project needs you may have, and we will keep you posted on further developments.

Region X Interagency COVID-19 Recovery Task Force Newsletter: Please find the attached 4th edition of the Region X Interagency COVID-19 Recovery Task Force Newsletter (7/27/2020). As a reminder for inquiries related to CARES Act funding and federal agency economic recovery programs related to COVID-19, please email FEMA-RegionX-Interagency-COVID19-Recovery-TaskForce at fema.dhs.gov<mailto:FEMA-RegionX-Interagency-COVID19-Recovery-TaskForce at fema.dhs.gov>

No new COVID-19 documents from HQ as of 7/29/20

Thank you for all your continued efforts in helping the nation before, during and after disasters. As new information becomes available, we will do our best to make this information as accessible as possible.


Best regards,

FEMA Region X Public Assistance
