1966 disaster declarations

In 1966, FEMA issued 115 county-level disaster declarations across 8 states and 115 counties. The most frequent declaration type was flood.

The states most affected in 1966 were Texas (27 declarations), Minnesota (25), and North Dakota (24). Beyond flood, the year also saw significant typhoon activity.

Year pages aggregate county-level declarations by calendar year. A single weather event — a hurricane season, a drought — can generate hundreds of county declarations across multiple states. The county pages linked from the timeline above show the per-county detail: aid breakdown, program authorizations, and how each event fits into the county's longer disaster history.
