FEMA Disasters
Every federally-declared disaster, filterable by state and incident type. The federal continuity signal that matters for MSPs serving regulated buyers in healthcare, utilities, and government.
Why this exists
A federal disaster declaration triggers a sequence: SBA loans, IRS deadline extensions, FEMA Public Assistance grants, BCDR contract activation. Every MSP serving regulated buyers in those counties has the same conversation that week. The earlier you see the declaration, the more of those conversations you can actually shape.
OpenFEMA publishes the declaration feed live. Filter by state and type, sort by date, ship.
Frequently asked questions
What does FEMA Disasters cover?
Every federally-declared disaster from 1953 to present, filterable by state and incident type (hurricane, wildfire, severe storm, pandemic, etc.). Returns FEMA disaster number, declaration date, incident period, and counties affected.
Why does this matter for business?
MSPs serving regulated buyers (healthcare, utilities, government) need to know which counties are under federal disaster declarations because disaster declarations trigger continuity-of-operations requirements, FEMA reimbursement eligibility, and SBA disaster-loan windows.
How current is the data?
