Description

The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, resulted in one of the largest catastrophes this country has ever experienced. The fed. govt. has been a key participant in the efforts to provide aid after the attacks, and it has been providing the N.Y. City area with funds and other forms of assistance. The magnitude of the disaster in N.Y. and the size and scope of the fed. govt.’s response in aiding the city has generated significant interest in the nature and progress of this fed. assistance. This testimony focuses on (1) how much and what types of assistance the fed. govt. provided to the N.Y. City area following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, (2) how the fed. govt.’s response to this disaster differed from previous disaster response efforts, and (3) the ongoing challenges FEMA faces as it, and its mission, are subsumed into the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS).
