About this year

FEMA declarations in 1988

In 1988, FEMA issued 47 county-level disaster declarations across 6 states and 47 counties. The most frequent declaration type was tornado.

The states most affected in 1988 were Arkansas (24 declarations), California (9), and North Carolina (9). Beyond tornado, the year also saw significant flood 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.
