For land acquisition, if the facility was located on 10 acres of land at the time of the incident, and FEMA determines that 10 acres is not necessary for the operation of the facility, FEMA limits Public Assistance funding to the necessary amount of land. In situations where the Applicant owns the facility, but not the land or the support facilities at the original location, the cost to purchase the land or build support facilities is not eligible.

When FEMA requires relocation, FEMA does not provide future Public Assistance funding for repair or replacement of the original facility or for other facilities at the original site unless the facility enables an open space use.

For example, if the Applicant converts the original site to a park, FEMA may provide Public Assistance funding in the future for park components, such as benches, tables, restrooms, or gravel roads.
