Disaster Declaration Tracker — FEMA Declarations by State

Track new FEMA disaster declarations — fires, floods, hurricanes, severe storms, and more — by state or incident type, the moment they're declared. Get the disaster number, declared programs, affected area, and a link to the FEMA disaster page.

Built for insurance claims teams, disaster recovery contractors, and emergency management professionals watching for new activations, without checking FEMA's site by hand.

Direct calls to the official OpenFEMA API (DisasterDeclarationsSummaries dataset). No proxy, no key, no scraping.

Pricing note

Billed per search, not per declaration returned — one charge whether the search returns 1 declaration or 200.
