RECOVERY
In January. 1970. a sub-committee of the United States Senate held hearings on the effectiveness of disaster relief at Biloxi.
The major complaints were against Red Cross administration of disaster relief......
slowness of delivery of trailers for temporaiy housing.... failure of Hie 3.B.A. to operate under new guidelines.....* membership of the Governor's
Bnergency Council.........red
tape in securing BOP funds for local government projects .....and the callousness of clean-ups ty contractors working for the Corps of Engineers. .. ..slew ana inadequate insurance settlements.
Members of the committee promised incorporated suggestions made in future federal disaster relief legislation.
Most insurance companies cancelled all insurance near the beach and withdrew from writing new insurance until June ,1.	1970. This had a
very adverse affect on rebuilding near the water under the "beach plan" pooled risk plan worked out ty the companies, the legislature, the insurance commissioner, and the insurance commission. Bates were far higher than anticipated, a.nd 'hiilding on the beacn is still at a standstill.
