Common Emergency Protective Measure 18

Temporary emergency repair or stabilization of an eligible facility is eligible as Emergency Work if it eliminates or lessens an immediate threat.

• Work performed under an exigent circumstance that restores the pre-disaster design and function of the facility in accordance with codes and standards is Permanent Work, not Emergency Work

Temporary emergency repair of a facility is not eligible if another Federal agency has the specific authority to provide assistance for the facility, such as for:

• Federal-Aid highways - Federal Highway Administration
• Flood control works - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Natural Resources Conservation Service

For Tribal Governments specifically, although the Bureau of Indian Affairs or Federal Highway Administration may have authority to provide temporary emergency repair of Tribal roads, such roads may be eligible for Public Assistance funding, provided the Tribal Government does not receive funding from Bureau of Indian Affairs or Federal Highway Administration for the work.
