FEMA has archived superseded PA publications and policy documents at https://www.fema.gov/publications-archive (publications) and https://www.fema.gov/public-assistance-archived-policies (policy documents). These policy and guidance documents remain in effect for incidents declared prior to January 1, 2016.
