The GAO report from September 2012 highlights the need for improved criteria in assessing jurisdictions' capabilities to respond to and recover from disasters without federal assistance. It discusses the increasing number of disaster declarations and associated federal costs, emphasizing that FEMA primarily relies on an outdated per capita damage indicator to determine eligibility for federal assistance. The report recommends developing a more comprehensive assessment methodology that includes fiscal capacity measures, establishing specific criteria for cost share adjustments, tracking additional costs related to these adjustments, and implementing goals for administrative cost percentages to enhance efficiency in disaster assistance delivery.
