To obtain Public Assistance grant funding, the Applicant must provide FEMA with a maintenance record of the damaged road/culvert.

• FEMA does not pay for road and culvert maintenance but does provide grant funding for eligible damage related to the incident
• Maintenance records should consist of an activity or work log, such as a spreadsheet
• The activity/work log should state whether the Applicant repaired a road/culvert due to an incident or conducted routine maintenance
• Maintenance should occur in a set pattern. It should show that the Applicant carries out routine maintenance on a regular schedule
• Frequency of maintenance or having a maintenance plan that states when maintenance occurs, supports maintenance records
• Completing maintenance "as needed" is not a maintenance schedule, unless stated specifically in the maintenance plan (e.g., "After a heavy rain, the road crew will inspect and repair XXXX road.")
• The Applicant will not be eligible for Public Assistance grant funding if the Applicant does not have maintenance records, provides inconsistent maintenance records, or shows neglect
• Potential Applicants should upkeep maintenance logs not only for FEMA grant funding, but also for managing their infrastructure and budget process
