Search the database: Every FEMA-declared disaster since 1953


How many flood disasters have hit Iowa in the past 50 years? Has New York ever suffered a damaging earthquake? Search a database of every FEMA-declared disaster since 1953. Sort by state, county / local area, date and disaster type.

This database was created with information downloaded from fema.gov in April 2013. Records begin with the first disaster declaration in 1953 and feature all three disaster declaration types: major disaster, emergency and fire management assistance. County information is not available before 1964, and fire management records are considered partial due to historical nature of the data.

The database can be consulted here
