Public Assistance Applicants

This dataset was generated by FEMA's Public Assistance (PA) reporting team to share data on assistance made available to eligible state, local and tribal governments, and certain private nonprofit organizations as part of presidentially declared disasters. This data, starting with disaster declaration DR1239 (declared in 1998), lists applicant (subrecipient) information that supplements the Public Assistance Funded Projects Details dataset. This raw, unedited data comes from FEMA's Applicant Case Tracker (FAC-Trax), which includes the Grants Manager (GM) and Grants Portal (GP) database.

Any financial information is derived from Grants Manager and not FEMA's official financial systems. Due to differences in reporting periods, status of obligations and application of business rules, this financial information may differ slightly from official publication on public websites such as usaspending.gov. This dataset is not intended to be used for any official federal reporting.
