Analysis: The "Recovery Gap"
Lag times represent the administrative pipeline from the moment a federal disaster is declared to the final release of hazard mitigation funds (HMGP). A long lag time (often exceeding 2-3 years) can stall crucial community construction projects (such as seawall fortifications, home elevations, or drainage improvements), exposing vulnerable populations to subsequent hurricane seasons without protection. Streamlining environmental reviews and pre-disaster planning can dramatically flatten this lag line.
