About this year

FEMA declarations in 1997

In 1997, FEMA issued 910 county-level disaster declarations across 27 states and 690 counties. The most frequent declaration type was severe storm.

The states most affected in 1997 were South Dakota (140 declarations), Minnesota (133), and North Dakota (106). Beyond severe storm, 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.
