OpenFEMA Dataset Codes

Metadata for the OpenFEMA API dataset codes. This dataset contains attributes regarding published fields that utilize coded values. Although the codes are presented in the dataset data dictionaries, providing the code descriptions in a format that can be queried is beneficial. A specific code description can be retrieved by applying a filter to this dataset, providing a source dataset (or endpoint) name, the dataset version, the field for which a code description is desired, and the code value. For examples, see the Metadata Tutorial in the OpenFEMA GitHub repository: https://github.com/FEMA/openfema-samples/tree/master/analysis-examples Please note that only FEMA maintained codes are documented in this table. Codes such as state abbreviations, FIPS codes, and Census Classification codes will not be provided.

FEMA's terms and conditions and citation requirements for datasets (API usage or file downloads) can be found on the OpenFEMA Terms and Conditions page: https://www.fema.gov/about/openfema/terms-conditions.
