Often, the government money after a disaster goes to the response costs of the disaster as well as to state/local governments for their costs and repairs. I think some money gets transferred to SBA for small businesses and sometimes grants to individuals that might qualify. To big corporations not so much unless they manage to slip it under the table.
On a related note - the $1.2 TRILLION dollar bipartisan infrastructure plan is hung up over the funding amount for transit. Pre-pandemic transit got about $13 BILLION dollars a year but the recent relief bills that have passed bumped that up to around $83 BILLION dollars of which only about half has been spent so far. That is supposed to be the major sticking point - how much money for transit that we don't yet know what will be needed in the new economy for projects that no one can get enough workers or materials for? And the political shenanigans continue.....
