Intranets and EDA: impact, application, and technology

As the primary Department of Commerce bureau to assist with post-natural disaster economic recovery, EDA received two distinct disaster supplemental appropriations totaling $500 million in Fiscal Year 2008. The appropriations are to be used for disaster relief, long-term recovery and restoration of infrastructure in areas covered by a declaration of major disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.
