About this year

FEMA declarations in 1986

In 1986, FEMA issued 250 county-level disaster declarations across 18 states and 244 counties. The most frequent declaration type was flood.

The states most affected in 1986 were Oklahoma (41 declarations), California (39), and Michigan (30). Beyond flood, the year also saw significant tornado 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.
