FEMA declarations in 1977

In 1977, FEMA issued 1,156 county-level disaster declarations across 36 states and 1,036 counties. The most frequent declaration type was drought.

The states most affected in 1977 were Georgia (151 declarations), Virginia (125), and North Carolina (95). Beyond drought, the year also saw significant snowstorm 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.
