EMM 311 WEEK 8 FOLLOW UP QUESTION RESPONSE Hello, Class and Professor! Therefore, after the video, I researched and discovered that my state has a program called the "Disaster Recovery Assistance Program." This program, among other things, provides financial assistance for home repairs, temporary housing, and other disaster-related expenses. It helps Pennsylvanians without other means of recovery after surviving a calamity. When federal recovery assistance is unavailable, this program takes over for Pennsylvanians who might not be eligible for federal funding. This was super informative and very eye-opening to find out about because the borough I live in within Pittsburgh, PA, is not prone to flooding compared to other boroughs and counties surrounding the city of Pittsburgh. Thus, it was comforting to know that the state of PA has at least this resource and many others available. As I delved deeper, I discovered that my state operates on local, state/federal, and private funding. However, the intricacies of each county and borough's financial operations pose a challenge. The city of Pittsburgh, surrounded by various government levels, each with its approach to handling disasters, makes researching these types of financing a complex task. This complexity, however, adds an element of intrigue to the process. However, one issue that particularly catches my eye and I foresee as one that might not be addressed as helpful would be local funding. I say this because this type of funding requires passing new taxes or fees and frequently necessitates extensive community involvement. Even though this type of funding allows for state and federal government grants, municipal revenue may be matched. However, it still becomes an issue when passing new taxes that people are already upset about, especially given today's
issue with the rise of inflation. People might not buy into a tax increase, which creates problems relating to trust and resiliency that we spoke of earlier. Out of the three ways of funding, as I have said before, I feel that the one that would become a huge problem and not be helpful is local funding due to the circumstance of taxes and relating it to today's issues in society as we speak.
