About this year

FEMA declarations in 2021

In 2021, FEMA issued 1,941 county-level disaster declarations across 42 states and 1,011 counties. The most frequent declaration type was severe ice storm. Combined tracked FEMA obligations for the year total $8.4B.

The states most affected in 2021 were Texas (510 declarations), Louisiana (362), and Mississippi (200). Beyond severe ice 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.
