FEMA declarations in 2003

In 2003, FEMA issued 1,526 county-level disaster declarations across 46 states and 1,196 counties. The most frequent declaration type was severe storm. Combined tracked FEMA obligations for the year total $1.5B.

The states most affected in 2003 were Virginia (144 declarations), New York (137), and Kentucky (119). Beyond severe storm, the year also saw significant hurricane 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.
