Congressional interest in Gulf Coast assistance has increased in
recent years because of the significant amount of assistance
provided to the region. Congress has also been interested in how
the money has been spent, what resources have been provided to the
region, and whether the money has reached the people and entities
intended to receive the funds. This book provides information on
federal financial assistance provided to the Gulf States after
major disasters were declared in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Texas in response to the widespread destruction
that resulted from Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma in 2005 and
Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008. This book also describes the
various components of the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF), including
what authorities have shaped it over the years; how FEMA determines
the amount of the appropriation requested to Congress (pertaining
to the DRF); and how emergency supplemental appropriations are
requested. Information is also provided on funds appropriated in
supplemental appropriations legislation to agencies other than the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
