About State Disaster Record

Each declaration has its own page with the incident period, the declaration and close-out dates, the counties, parishes, boroughs and tribal areas it covers, the assistance programs declared and, where FEMA publishes them, the amounts of aid approved or obligated. Every state, territory and county has a page that lists its declarations year by year.

Declarations come in three kinds. A Major Disaster Declaration (DR) is made by the President after a state, territory or tribal government asks for it and opens the widest range of federal programs. An Emergency Declaration (EM) supports the immediate response, often before a storm makes landfall. A Fire Management Assistance Declaration (FM) helps pay for fighting a wildfire that threatens to become a major disaster.

Dollar figures are the totals FEMA reports for Individual Assistance (approved), Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation (obligated). They are not available for every declaration, they change as projects are approved and closed, and they are shown as reported by OpenFEMA on October 29, 2026. County populations are 2024 estimates from the US Census Bureau; Connecticut’s new planning regions do not match the old county codes used by FEMA, so its counties are shown without population.
