This also applies to other state agencies, county, and local jurisdictions without utilizing funds already allocated to the agency. This funding method causes the agency to use funds that were already allocated to other programs resulting in a reduction of the services from the programs those funds came from. The purpose of this research is to learn if other states have programs in place dedicated to funding disaster/emergency response and recovery efforts, how successful those programs are, and if any of them would work within DHEC (or other state agencies in South Carolina).application/pdfDocumentCopyright status determined to be in the public domain on April 27, 2020 by United States Supreme Court ruling (Georgia et al., Petitioners v.
