Oversight of Gulf Coast Hurricane Recovery, A Semiannual Report to Congress, October 1, 2007 - March 31, 2008 (PDF; 25 MB)

This is the fifth in a series of semiannual reports on Gulf Coast hurricane recovery oversight. The report details the efforts that are a part of the oversight of the activities and expenditures directly linked to the recovery from the devastating 2005 hurricane season.

Inspector General oversight continues with the ultimate goal of identifying fraud, waste, and abuse, and ensuring that the assets and resources employed in the recovery are used efficiently and effectively. The efforts of the Inspector General community continue to benefit the Federal government’s hurricane relief activities. Additionally, the Homeland Security Roundtable, which became the natural forum for the Inspector General community’s oversight of hurricane recovery efforts, has initiated similar efforts on issues related to recent natural disasters, such as the flooding in the Midwest and fires in California."
