How this declaration unfolded

Incident periodDec 10, 2021 – Dec 11, 2021DeclaredDec 13, 2021Closed outMar 16, 2022

The incident period is the official window of the disaster. Damage generally has to fall inside it to qualify for FEMA help, and FEMA sometimes extends it, or adds counties and programs, as damage assessments come in.

What an emergency declaration is

An emergency declaration is narrower and usually comes fast, often before or during an event. It mostly pays for emergency work such as evacuations, shelters and debris clearance, and federal help under one is capped at $5 million unless the President finds that more is urgently needed and reports that to Congress. Help for individual households is rare under an emergency declaration.
