FEMA Disaster Declaration Tracker by State

New U.S. disaster declarations for insurance claims teams, disaster recovery contractors and emergency managers. Filter official FEMA declarations by state and incident type (fires, floods, hurricanes, severe storms and more) and get the latest ones, most recently declared first.

What you get

One row per declaration:

• Disaster number, title, state and incident type
• Declaration date, and when the incident started and ended
• The counties or areas covered
• Which assistance programs were approved (Individual Assistance, Public Assistance, Individuals and Households, Hazard Mitigation)
• A link to the FEMA disaster page

Who this is for

• Insurance claims teams preparing for claims in newly declared areas.
• Disaster recovery contractors finding where federal recovery work is starting.
• Emergency management professionals following new activations in their region.
