Disaster Assistance Act

The act creates a framework for providing state financial assistance in connection with disasters, beginning with the definitions and general terms that govern how the program operates. It assigns responsibility for administering that assistance and sets out the basis on which aid is allocated, both to state agencies and to local agencies. It further establishes the funds from which disaster assistance is drawn and governs how money in them is held and disbursed.
