No. They are two separate programs, and you will have to sign up for both independently to be a part of both.
FEMA
Will FEMA or another government agencies be able to seize my land if I sign the ROE Form?
No. The ROE is only valid for the duration of the program and does not affect ownership of the property in any way. The ROE is only valid for the duration of the program. After the cleanup is completed, FEMA will provide a detailed report about the cleanup process and the ROE will be nullified.
Will FEMA take all my insurance proceeds?
No. Insurance proceeds will be collected by the county for debris removal coverage if your policy had any.
Will the resident need to produce any applicable insurance they might have had, during the PPDR process?
Yes, ROE form has a place for owner to input insurance information. If owner does not have insurance, there is no further action needed. If the owner does have insurance with debris removal as a specific line item on their insurance policy, they must remit the amount provided to them from the insurance company to the county. It is suggested they contact their insurance company to ask questions if they are unsure of specific coverage. If you receive an insurance payout for debris removal and have USACE clean your property for free, you are receiving duplicate benefits.
Will Lahaina, the TDS site, or permanent disposal site at the Central Maui Landfill be considered ‘Superfund’ sites?
No. Though USEPA used resources (personnel, equipment, contractors, etc.) from its Superfund program with funding through a mission assignment from FEMA to conduct Phase 1 cleanup operations, this isn't considered a Superfund site. A Superfund site is typically a cleanup project where no other regulatory authority can conduct the work and is meant to address former industrial activities. The permanent disposal site will be built and operated under state and Federal laws other than the Superfund law.
