About this list

Each line is a declaration as FEMA recorded it. A major disaster declaration can open several programs: Individual Assistance (help for people and households, which they apply for), Public Assistance (help for state, local and tribal governments to rebuild) and Hazard Mitigation (projects to reduce future damage). Emergency declarations are narrower, and fire management declarations help pay for fighting a wildfire. FEMA often adds counties to a declaration after it is first made; this page shows FEMA's current list. Titles and types are FEMA's own.
