The devastation created by the 2005 Hurricanes Katrina and Rita generated one of the largest relief efforts put forth by the Federal government. The OIG worked closely with other Inspectors General, the Department of Justice, and state and local agencies on a coordinated oversight response. In support of the OIG's primary emphasis on preventing fraud, we designated audit and investigative staff experienced with the key DOL programs most heavily impacted. The OIG worked with state auditors responsible for oversight of Federal funds, and conducted our own audits and investigations. The areas of greatest concern for DOL were National Emergency Grants, Unemployment Insurance, Disaster Unemployment Assistance, contracting and procurement, Wage and Hour Division enforcement activities, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's activities as part of the National Emergency Response Plan. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR OIG WORK RELATED TO 2005 HURRICANES PRESIDENT’S COUNCIL ON INTEGRITY AND EFFICIENCY (PCIE) and EXECUTIVE COUNCIL ON INTEGRITY AND EFFICIENCY (ECIE) WORK RELATED TO 2005 (These reports show Federal IG community’s coordinated oversight response, including reports from the PCIE/ECIE to Congress.)
