Functionality: Show help text if the facility is identified as located in a closed basin; impact is not eligible. Flag for PDMG or PDTFL review.

43 Functionality: Only ask if “Road” was selected on the Impact List. (More info) To help avoid damage to roads that have been inundated, Applicants should allow time for saturated soil to dry out prior to reopening roads to normal traffic to prevent surface damage caused by reopening roads prematurely. Such damage is traffic-induced, not disaster-related, and should be expected on a saturated roadbed. In addition to not being a result of the declared disaster, surface damage from reopening roads to normal traffic prematurely may constitute negligence and, therefore, may not be eligible for repair assistance from PA. See Public Assistance Guidance on Inundated and Submerged Roads (FEMA Policy FP 104-009-13) for more information.

44 (Help text) Restoration work for roads that have experienced inundation by floodwaters with damage caused by reopening to normal traffic prematurely is not eligible per Public Assistance Guidance on Inundated and Submerged Roads (FEMA Policy FP 104-009-13).
