2000 disaster declarations

In 2000, FEMA issued 1,065 county-level disaster declarations across 38 states and 906 counties. The most frequent declaration type was severe storm. Combined tracked FEMA obligations for the year total $745.9M.

The states most affected in 2000 were Arkansas (119 declarations), Virginia (109), and New York (92). Beyond severe storm, the year also saw significant fire 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.
