Can ER funds allocated to repair damage to a facility be used instead in the purchase or construction of a new replacement facility?

ER funds allocated to repair damage to a facility may be used for another eligible project at the discretion of the grant recipient. However, the purchase or construction of a new replacement facility is only eligible if the damaged facility for which funds are allocated is not repairable and must be rebuilt.
