Eligible work associated with relocation includes land acquisition and construction of necessary support facilities, such as roads, parking lots, and utilities. Demolition and removal of the original facility are also eligible if deemed necessary. FEMA limits Public Assistance funding to the amount necessary to make the relocated facility and its associated components operational.

FEMA considers the proximity of the new site to utilities (water, sewer, and electric) and approves the least costly solution. Construction of an off-site support facility is only eligible if it is a utility that would serve the relocated facility exclusively.

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.

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 facilitates an open space use.
