Categories of Work

To facilitate the processing of Public Assistance funding, FEMA separates Emergency Work into two categories and Permanent Work into five categories based on general types of facilities.

These categories and examples of each are shown in the figure below: (Emergency Work and Permanent Work)

Please refer to Appendix 2-2 for a full description.
Electrical systems may do emergency protective measures (Category B) when they do a temporary repair that will be removed when the facility is permanently repaired. Permanent repairs will usually fall under utilities (Category F)”.
