The National Response Plan establishes that the Department of State (DOS) is the coordinator of all offers of international assistance. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is responsible for accepting the assistance and coordinating its distribution. In light of widespread congressional and public interest in U.S. agencies' accountability in receiving and distributing assistance to hurricane victims, this report is one of several initiated under the authority of the Comptroller General to review the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina. It examines (1) the amount and use of internationally donated cash, and (2) the extent to which federal agencies have adequate policies and procedures to ensure proper accountability for the acceptance and distribution of that assistance. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-460/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-460.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-460/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-460.pdf GAO-06-460 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-460 Other Written Product GAO-06-460; Hurricane Katrina: Comprehensive Policies and Procedures Are Needed to Ensure Appropriate Use of and Accountability for International Assistance; Accountability Cash management Disaster recovery Disaster relief aid Foreign financial assistance Foreign military assistance Funds management Gifts or gratuities Hurricane Katrina Internal controls International relations National response plan Policies and procedures Transparency National Response Plan Title 9 Part 94.18 9 CFR Part 94.18
