Federal Snow Removal

Reimbursement Policy:

Improvements Needed



Since January 1977 the Federal Disaster As-
sistance Administration has given $126 mil-
lion to State and local jurisdictions to pay for
snow removal expenses in presidentially de-
clared emergency and major disaster areas.

Some of these funds were paid to jurisdictions
that could have afforded to pay their own
snow removal costs, even though Federal
emergency assistance is to be extended only
when a catastrophe is beyond State and local
capabilities.

This report contains recommendations to cor-
rect this and other weaknesses noted in the
Federal Disaster Assistance Administration's
snow removal reimbursement policy. It also
recommends several amendments to the Disas-
ter Relief Act of 1974.
