Preface

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) was established by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296) by amendment to the Inspector General Act of 1978. As part of the Inspector General community, our responsibility is to provide oversight for presidentially declared disasters.

The DHS OIG, through the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) has developed an inventory of federal programs that provide assistance to affected individuals, states, localities, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and other public entities. It is based on a survey of other CIGIE members and a review of the General Services Administration, Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance and the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Disaster Assistance: A Guide to Recovery Programs (FEMA229/September 2005).

This compendium has been developed through the best information available to our office, and has been discussed with the Inspector General community. We trust this compendium will serve as a tool for agencies to use in identifying programs that are available to provide assistance during a disaster. We express our appreciation to all who contributed to the preparation of this compendium.

Overview

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Inspector General (OIG), through the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) has developed an inventory of federal programs that provide assistance to individuals, states, localities, nonprofit organizations, and businesses impacted by a disaster.

Federal agencies provide both financial and non-financial support in response to presidentially declared disasters. They administer assistance during presidentially declared disasters through disaster specific programs, regular ongoing programs that are applied during a disaster, and through mission assignments and interagency agreements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to other federal agencies. These programs provide assistance to individuals, states, localities, non-profit organizations, and businesses. Congress provides the funding for these programs through annual federal appropriations or through supplemental appropriations.

When funds become available, they may flow directly from the federal government to disaster victims or businesses, or the federal government may issue the funds to the state, localities, or a nonprofit organization that distributes the funds to the disaster victims or businesses.

This inventory was developed by surveying the federal Inspector General community as a means to identify all financial and non-financial assistance provided by each agency in support of a disaster. We also reviewed the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) website1 and FEMA’s Disaster Assistance: A Guide to Recovery Programs2 . This inventory does not include basic research provided by federal agencies, or the mission assignment activities that are more directly related to response activities. It also does not include programs administered by non-government agencies, although they provide extensive resources during declared disasters.

The survey questionnaire and other documents reviewed indicate there is an array of programs for individual and community needs that may be of

assistance before, during, and after a declared disaster, depending upon the circumstances and available resources.

We identified 240 programs that provide disaster assistance. A complete listing of the programs is included in Appendix A. Table 1 depicts the number of disaster assistance programs per agency or department. This table represents a breakdown of the total number of disaster assistance programs into the 22 agencies or departments that administer them.

Community Development has the largest number of programs with a total of 64 programs, or 27%. Table 2 shows the number of programs in each functional area.

This inventory of programs provides information for Inspectors General to use as a means of becoming knowledgeable of the programs available for financial and non-financial assistance during a disaster. It can be used as a tool for awareness of similar programs available in other federal agencies.

We compiled this information under the authority of the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended. As agreed upon with the CIGIE, we performed the following non-audit services to compile this compendium to use as a tool for agencies or departments in identifying disaster assistance programs that are available to provide assistance. We provided the CIGIE with the opportunity to verify the information in this compendium and we have incorporated their comments as appropriate.
