About this year

FEMA declarations in 2016

In 2016, FEMA issued 1,191 county-level disaster declarations across 39 states and 933 counties. The most frequent declaration type was flood. Combined tracked FEMA obligations for the year total $4.2B.

The states most affected in 2016 were Texas (145 declarations), Missouri (126), and North Carolina (120). Beyond flood, the year also saw significant severe storm 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.
