# FEMA disaster assistance dollars - how much federal aid was...

`GET /api/gov/disaster-assistance`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://2s.io`
- URL: `https://2s.io/api/gov/disaster-assistance`
- Auth: API key in header `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

FEMA disaster assistance dollars — how much federal aid was approved or obligated for a declared disaster, by place. program=individuals (default) returns Individuals & Households Program (IHP) approved housing assistance, one record per ZIP per disaster, with FEMA-approved repair/replace, rental, and other-needs dollars and valid-registration counts (tenancy=owner default, or renter). program=public returns Public Assistance funded-project summaries, one record per applicant (state/local government, tribe, or eligible nonprofit) per disaster, with the federally obligated grant amount and project count. Filter by disasterNumber (the join key to gov.disaster-declarations), state (2-letter), and zipCode (5-digit, IHP only); results are ordered by approved/obligated dollars, highest first, with the total matching count and a normalized approvedAmountUSD per record. Free, public-domain (OpenFEMA). Distinct from gov.disaster-declarations (which disasters were declared + what was authorized), gov.risk-index (modeled future risk), and gov.nfip-claims (flood-insurance losses): this is the realized federal-spend record — for disaster-recovery, grants, insurance, and emergency-management workflows.

## Query parameters

- `program` 'individuals' | 'public'
- `tenancy` 'owner' | 'renter'
- `disasterNumber` integer
- `state` string
- `zipCode` string
- `limit` integer
- `trial` 1

## Other responses

- `200` (unresolved $ref)
- `400`: Invalid request — not charged. error.code: BAD_REQUEST or INVALID_PARAM (parameter validation; error.details.issues lists each problem), MALFORMED_JSON, or a request-specific code. Other client errors: 405 METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (wrong verb; see the Allow header), 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE.
- `402`: Payment required. Body is the x402 PaymentRequirements envelope with a multi-network accepts array; the per-call price is in accepts[].amount (and on the operation as x-2s-price). Sign for whichever rail you hold USDC on (EIP-3009 for Base, partial SPL transfer for Solana) and retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header (X-PAYMENT also accepted for v1 clients). Also PAYMENT_SETTLE_FAILED (error envelope) when a verified payment failed to settle: error.details.chargeStatus is "not_charged" (retry with a fresh payment) or "unknown" (the authorization may still settle before its deadline — check it before retrying).
- `429`: Too many requests — RATE_LIMITED: our per-IP / per-payer limiter. Not charged; retry after Retry-After.
- `5XX`: Server-side failure. 500 INTERNAL: unexpected error; quote error.errorId (also the X-2s-Error-Id header). 502 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE (or another UPSTREAM_* code): the data provider failed — composite endpoints refuse unbilled when every source fails. 503 SERVICE_PAUSED: endpoint paused by the operator kill switch, retry after Retry-After; 503 SPEND_CAP: daily upstream budget exhausted. 504 UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT. Not charged.
