    <p>The stopgap bill could be a natural place to add in disaster relief funding, even if it’s just a down payment ahead of a more comprehensive relief measure later in the year. That’s how Congress handled Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when it approved $10 billion in immediate aid while most members were still on August recess. It followed up months later with a $51 billion package.</p>

    <p>A House Republican aide said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has sufficient disaster relief funding for now. FEMA said it has $3.3 billion in the disaster relief fund as of Monday, which includes money that can be shifted from longer-term priorities. Costs associated with Harvey are “quickly drawing down the remaining balance” in the fund, said Stephanie Moffett, a FEMA spokeswoman.</p>

    <p>Harvey’s <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-29/harvey-costs-seen-rising-to-42-billion-as-flooding-intensifies">cost could reach</a> $42 billion, Chuck Watson, a disaster modeler with Enki Research, said in a note to clients Tuesday. That’s up from his <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-27/harvey-s-cost-reaches-catastrophe-as-modelers-see-many-uninsured">projection</a> Monday of a $30 billion impact on the labor force, power grid, transportation and other elements that support the region’s energy sector. Analysts including David Havens at Imperial Capital have estimated the costs could top $100 billion, potentially causing more havoc than Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which spurred at least $118 billion of losses.</p>
