“When it was established in September 2005, the mission of the Hurricane Katrina Fraud Task Force was to deter, prevent, detect, and punish fraud related to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. Subsequently, as other hurricanes and disasters, both in and beyond the Gulf Coast region, gave rise to similar patterns of fraud, the work of the Task Force has expanded to provide assistance to United States Attorneys Offices and federal investigative agencies and Inspectors General in providing a national mechanism for receiving and referring complaints from the public about suspected fraud. In 2010, for example, the earthquakes in Haiti and floods in New England and Tennessee prompted immediate response by the Task Force and its members.”
