GAO: Homeland Security Grant Program Risk-Based Distribution Methods

In this December 2008 briefing for Congress, the GAO reviews the methodology used by DHS and FEMA in awarding HSGP grants and finds DHS has "generally constructed a reasonable methodology to assess risk and allocate funds." However, GAO notes that that DHS has not taken action on an earlier recommendation that the department "formulate a method to measure vulnerability that captures variations across states and urban areas, and apply this vulnerability measure in future iterations of this risk-based grant allocation model."
