| # FEMA Disaster Declarations Enriched Dataset
|
|
|
| This dataset packages FEMA disaster declaration records into a single analysis-ready dataframe covering May 2, 1953 through May 25, 2026.
|
|
|
| Each row represents one FEMA designated-area declaration record enriched with normalized dates, declaration timing metrics, state and FEMA region labels, area-type classification, assistance-program profiles, incident-family grouping, hazard keyword flags, and reproducible source URLs. The result is easier to use for insurance exposure review, disaster-intelligence workflows, climate-risk research, emergency-management analysis, government contracting research, and real-estate market monitoring than the raw OpenFEMA export alone.
|
|
|
| The source data comes directly from FEMA's official OpenFEMA Disaster Declarations Summaries API and CSV export.
|
