Answer:

the federal government I think or the state

Step-by-step explanation:

Although catastrophes with large federal government responses capture the most public attention, state governments play an oft-overlooked role in paying for natural disasters. ... Even in major disasters, states often must pay upfront for costs that are later partially or fully reimbursed by the federal government.
