About this disaster type

Understanding straight-line winds declarations

FEMA has issued 2 county-level disaster declarations classified as straight-line winds, affecting 2 counties across 1 states. Combined public and individual assistance obligations for this disaster type total $2.1M.

A disaster declaration is a formal determination by the President (or FEMA administrator for emergency declarations) that federal assistance is needed. Not every natural event results in a declaration — the state must request one, and FEMA evaluates the damage relative to state and local capacity. The declaration count on this page reflects the number of county-level records in the federal datasets, not the number of individual storms or events.
