Outlines the long-term recovery plan developed by cabinet agencies, under the direction of FEMA Director Witt, and details the types and amounts of assistance provided by these agencies. Areas of greatest concern include: comprehensive flood mitigation; housing repairs, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and replacement financing; the National Flood Insurance Program, floodplain management, and floodplain mapping; planning and programs for economic recovery; agriculture; infrastructure; health and mental health; and, special needs, including those related to tribal nations, education programs, and historic preservation. The report identifies the assistance programs the federal government offers for each of these areas. Specific needs are still in the process of being identified both at the state and local levels, although federal agencies continue to assist in the recovery effort. In all, the report details the delivery of nearly $2 billion in assistance, including $587 million in disaster loans; $389 million in aid to rural areas for agricultural damage and losses; more thatn $130 million for repair or replacement of road systems; more than $10 million in disaster unemployment aid; and $8 million for community, social, and health services
