Description

Using lessons from the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes, FEMA released the Nat. Response Framework (NRF) in Jan. 2008. This report examines: (1) why the primary role for mass care in the NRF shifted from the Red Cross to FEMA, and potential issues with implementation; (2) whether Nat. Voluntary Org. Active in Disasters (NVOAD) -- an umbrella org. of 49 voluntary agencies -- is equipped to fulfill its NRF role; (3) the extent to which FEMA has addressed issues with mass care for the disabled since the hurricanes; (4) the extent to which major voluntary agencies have prepared to better serve the disabled since the hurricanes; and (5) the extent to which FEMA has addressed issues voluntary agencies faced in receiving Public Assistance reimbursement.
