The listed activities are eligible uses supported by the advanced Public Assistance Category B funding for the response.

Source summary
FEMA has advanced upfront Public Assistance funding to Mississippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana following a severe winter storm, using amended emergency declarations to speed response. The agency provided $3.75 million each to Mississippi and Tennessee and $3.79 million to Louisiana to reimburse emergency protective measures and sustain critical response operations. The administration says the action is part of a reformed FEMA focused on faster, more flexible response while maintaining oversight.
