Apparently many billions of government aid money will be spent for hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
Simple but serious question. Where will that money go?
Will any of the money go to those who suffer losses of property? How will the money be disbursed?
Will any of the money go to those people who are renting, but will lose personal property... cars, household goods etc.
What of the people who will lose jobs, either temporarily or permanently?
The hundred+ thousand of claims that have already been filed... how are the claims adjudicated? ie... for those who have have insurance or for those who suffer losses without having insurance?
Looking for a general explanation or a website that explains this in simple terms.
Here's a general "starter site", but the numbers don't seem to add up.

Links to the government documents on the subject are mostly gobbledy-gook, technical internal regulations... but nothing that spells out where the dollars actually go. Current estimate for Irma alone, is 100 billion Dollars. That works out to about $4892.00 for every man woman and child in Florida.
