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.
