Emergency Relief

FHWA's Emergency Relief (ER) Program was authorized by Congress to repair or reconstruct federal-aid routes that have suffered serious damage as a direct result of a declared event (see Title 23, United States Code, Section 125).

The program is available to state and local agency transportation departments with roads suffering serious damage from natural disasters or catastrophic failures from external causes.

ER funding is intended to supplement other resources to help in the repair of facilities damaged by eligible events.
