Description:

Following a disaster declaration, two programs utilized by FEMA to provide funding are the Individuals and Households (IHP) and Public Assistance (PA) programs. The IHP program provides financial and direct services to eligible individuals and households affected by a disaster, who have uninsured or under-insured necessary expenses and serious needs. IHP assistance may include funds for temporary housing, repairing or replacing owner properties, or hazard mitigation assistance. The PA Program provides supplemental grants to state, tribal, territorial, and local governments, and certain types of private non-profits so communities can quickly respond to and recover from major disasters or emergencies. Projects can cover activities such as debris removal, emergency protective measures, and restoring public infrastructure.

IHP and PA data is published at the applicant and project level, which is aggregated by PolicyMap to produce sums and counts at the county, state, and zip (IHP only) level. PolicyMap displays this data as both individual years and multiyear ranges. Individual years may be excluded if no disasters occurred at any geographies in a given year.
