The Congressional Research Service recently released this report of FEMA’s Public Assistance Grant Program: CRS-FEMA-PA. The download is 64 pages.
This report provides a great deal of descriptive detail about the program, including the changes needed to comply with the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act. It is longer than most CRS reports. It should be a useful resource for those responsible for disaster response and recovery after a Presidential disaster declaration.
