How to read this
- FEMA data (OpenFEMA). Years are the fiscal year each disaster was declared.
- Disaster aid = FEMA Public Assistance obligated (rebuilding public facilities, debris removal, emergency work) plus housing aid approved for households; it leaves out SBA disaster loans, flood insurance claims and other agencies' recovery money. Public Assistance to state agencies is statewide (no county).
- No year given: totals cover every year since 1953.
