Advisories are issued by the National Hurricane Center as a storm develops. A storm matters to Public Assistance once it leads to a declaration: the request begins with the governor or tribal chief executive under 44 CFR 206.35 and 206.36, and the incident period FEMA sets in the declaration defines the window in which work may be eligible. The costs and actions an organization records before landfall become the documentation a later claim is built on.
