I found the site where all of this is available for download. They transmit the data as a normal ASCII email message with known fields, and can reconstitute it into the form. They don't seem to have many of the FEMA forms (I have all of them), but they have a large collection of local forms. It would be no problem to interoperate with, but I think could be improved. They don't even have a checksum on the data, I guess relying on the Winliink transport.
I am talking with a FEMA guy about this. The accounting load on them is something we don't often see. Every resource is accounted for, and if a state uses its FEMA funds improperly, they have to pay FEMA back. They had an old proposal to integrate the forms process into an accounting backend for logistics and accounting. I would implement it using Odoo and AI assistance for the coding (see https://github.com/BrucePerens/hams_community for my AI framework), but don't yet have all of the details necessary to do so.
