About

Federal Emergency Management Agency open data for operational continuity, risk exposure, and post-disaster funding signals. Four datasets exposed via four search methods plus getServiceInfo: federal disaster declarations 1953-present (~70K rows, one row per designated area, 21 incident types from Hurricane to Volcanic Eruption to Toxic Substances, 3 declaration types DR/EM/FM, refresh every 20 minutes); NFIP flood-insurance claims (~2.7M anonymized claims back to 1973 with date of loss, flood zone, building/contents damage, paid amounts, FIPS county, lat/lon); FEMA Public Assistance funded project details (~898K project line items with damage category A-G/Z, applicant, project status, federal share obligated, first/last obligation dates; pivot a hurricane disasterNumber to the funded response); IPAWS archived public emergency alerts (~4.8M with sender, CAP event type, severity, urgency, headline, area description). Pivot use cases: a county to its NFIP claim history; a hurricane disasterNumber to the public-assistance projects awarded; a CAP event type to its IPAWS alert volume across a date range. No setup needed.
