Categorizing Losses
Categorizing Losses
FEMA defines Emergency Work under Categories A & B and Permanent Work under Categories C through G. It is important to keep these categories in mind from the beginning, as it can take several weeks — sometimes months — before an event is declared as eligible and FEMA is actually on site.
"Many decisions are made prior to FEMA's arrival, so it becomes imperative to document and photo-journal all activities."
