Emergency Relief

​Emergency Relief (ER) assists local governments with replacing or repairing roadways or roadway structure damage on ALL federal-aid highways (major collectors and above) resulting from a catastrophic failure or natural disaster. Besides physical damage, ER also includes debris removal and emergency protective measures such as traffic control and detour signing.

The information you will need to apply for the ER funds is contained in the following:
