Disaster management often places public administrators in the precarious position of managing a significant amount of federal funds with very little oversight. It is a broadly accepted concept that it is more important to deliver relief to affected areas than it is to worry about the likelihood that a small percentage of funds may end up fulfilling political agendas. Unfortunately, this situation can lead to mismanagement and egoistic behaviors which represent yet another collateral challenge for officials and constituents alike. The fallout of improperly administered disaster management federal outlays could have calamitous consequences upon a region and its intended beneficiaries. The aim of this qualitative case study was to investigate how management of federal funds by state actors, coupled with the fiscal responsibility and behavior of elected officials and administrators during disaster management, affected the rebuilding process of the affected region. Data was be collected employing interviews, peer reviewed literature, and well researched existing documentation. Literature and data were examined through the lens Structural-Functional Systems Theory applying a qualitative construct using phenomenological inquiry to study views and opinions of individuals affected by hurricane Sandy, including the anecdotes of first responders. Major themes and findings discovered during the research were, procedural transparency, social reconditioning, and data collection methodology. Recommendations for practice by public officials during relief efforts: (a) engage in open and participatory communication; (b) minimize the effects of situational adaptation due to lack of leadership and inappropriate government response; and (c) actively engage in data collection methods that implement empirical traceability to the process of discovery and documentation of damage. Recommendations for future research include further studies include: (a) institution of a fiscal management taskforce at the federal level to safeguard tax payers dollars during large scale catastrophic events; (b) considerations to properly train and prepare local and state officials to deliver a lucid initial response to a catastrophic event.
