FAQ

Common county-page questions

Does a declaration in Russell County mean every resident received FEMA aid?

No. A declaration opens programs and public funding pathways, but households still have to qualify. Some declarations only activate public assistance or hazard mitigation, not direct household grants.

Why is FloodZoneMap.org linked from this county page?

Past disaster history and mapped flood exposure answer different user needs. This page focuses on county disaster history. FloodZoneMap.org focuses on flood-zone context and flood-map interpretation.

Are the numbers inflation-adjusted?

No. The site currently uses the raw FEMA and NFIP dollar amounts as published. The goal is to preserve the source data while keeping the county history readable.
