This dataset contains information on projects supported by Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) recipients and as reported by the recipient in the Grant Reporting Tool (GRT).rnrnThe EMPG Program provides resources to assist state, local, tribal, and territorial governments in preparing for all hazards, as authorized by Section 662 of the Post Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (6 U.S.C § 762) and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 et seq.). Title VI of the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to make grants for the purpose of providing a system of emergency preparedness for the protection of life and property in the United States from hazards, and to vest responsibility for emergency preparedness jointly in the federal government and the states and their political subdivisions. The EMPG, from FY 2016 to the present, provides federal funds to assist state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies to obtain the resources required to support the National Preparedness Goal's (NPG's) associated mission areas and core capabilities. The Federal Government, through the EMPG Program, provides necessary direction, coordination, and guidance, and provides necessary assistance, as authorized in this title to support a comprehensive all hazards emergency preparedness system.rnrnThe EMPG supports a comprehensive, all-hazard emergency preparedness system by building and sustaining the core capabilities contained in the NPG’s. Examples include:rn•tCompleting the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process.rn•tStrengthening a state or community's emergency management governance structure.rn•tUpdating and approving specific emergency plans.rn•tDesigning and conducting exercises that enable whole community stakeholders to examine and validate core capabilities and the plans needed to deliver them to the targets identified through the THIRA.rn•tTargeting training and verifying identified capabilities.rn•tInitiating or achieving a whole community approach to security and emergency management.rnrnThis dataset was first made public on 10/31/2016 and is updated twice twice a year.rnrnFor additional details on the EMPG program visit: https://www.fema.gov/grants/preparedness/emergency-management-performance.rnrnThis dataset is not intended to be an official federal report and should not be considered an official federal report.rnrnCitation: The Agency’s preferred citation for datasets (API usage or file downloads) can be found on the OpenFEMA Terms and Conditions page, Citing Data section: https://www.fema.gov/about/openfema/terms-conditions.rnrnIf you have media inquiries about this dataset, please email the FEMA News Desk at FEMA-News-Desk@fema.dhs.gov or call (202) 646-3272.

First, a caveat: the NFIP data does NOT provide information specific to individual homes or parcels. This information is protected under federal law. All personal identifying information about policy holders has been redacted, and data has been anonymized to census tract, reported ZIP code, and one decimal point digit of latitute and longitude. If mapped, flood insurance policies and claims may appear to be clustered at a particular location due to this anonymization. What all that means: you cannot search for an address to see whether it has flooded. However, among many things, this data shows flooding trends in Norfolk over the last 40+ years. It shows the census tracts that flood most frequently. And it shows where the largest number and highest value of claims occur.

FEMA believes this historic release of NFIP data promotes transparency, reduces complexity related to public data requests, and improves how stakeholders interact with and understand the program. This is the largest, most comprehensive release of NFIP data coordinated by FEMA to date. This dataset allows for customizable searches to create reports, analyze and visualize present and historical NFIP data faster and easier than before. This data will help FEMA build a national culture of preparedness by providing claims and policy information people need to make better choices about their flood risk and the insurance they need to protect the life they've built. Norfolk's Open Data team extracted city-specific information from the FEMA dataset. The dataset included here represents almost 6,000 claims on record from 1977 through 2019, totaling 67 million dollars in damage in the City of Norfolk.

This dataset comes from the FEMA S_Fld_Haz_Ar table. The S_Fld_Haz_Ar table contains information about the flood hazards within the flood risk project area. A spatial file with location information also corresponds with this data table. These zones are used by FEMA to designate the SFHA and for insurance rating purposes. These data are the regulatory flood zones designated by FEMA. A spatial file with location information also corresponds with this data table.This information is needed for the following tables in the FIS report: Flooding Sources Included in this FIS report, and Summary of Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analyses.The spatial elements representing the flood zones are polygons. The entire area of the jurisdiction(s) mapped by the FIRM should have a corresponding flood zone polygon. There is one polygon for each contiguous flood zone designated.FEMA Regulatory Floodway are flood zone polygons marked as a regulatory floodway.FEMA 100 year are flood zone polygons where there is a 1% Annual Chance, also known as the 100 year.FEMA 500 year are flood zone polygons where there is a 0.2% Annual Chance, also known as the 500 year.This map is not intended for insurance rating purposes and is for information only. This map is a representation and approximation of the relative location of geographic information, land marks and physical addresses. The map may not be 100% accurate in locating your address. The floodplains shown on this mapping tool are those delineated on the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM or floodplain map) for Montgomery County. This map is not an official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map. The effective DFIRMs are produced, maintained, and published by FEMA and not by Montgomery County. Official determinations are provided by FEMA.

This dataset was created for the Data Visualization map on FEMA.gov/data-visualization using Agency data that was released to the public by OpenFEMA. It is created by pulling, processing and combining multiple OpenFEMA datasets (listed below) together. Merging data tables depends on common fields being present throughout each source file. For this reason many columns in the original files were not included. For example, county level details were excluded because they are not available in all the source files. Additionally, we added new columns to ensure integrity existed between the source file and the merged file. For example, we added and populated when needed Grant Bucket, Program Name, Program Abbr, and Incident Type.

This record description is for the FEMA Applicant Case Tracker (Fac-trax - Grants Manager) portion of the unioned query required due to migration of Public Assistance (PA) Recovery records from the EMMIE database into the Fac-trax database. This dataset contains data on Public Assistance project awards (obligations), including the project obligation date(s); dollar amount of Federal Share Obligated for each project and its obligation date(s); FEMA region; state; disaster declaration number; descriptive cause of the declaration (incident type); entity requesting public assistance (applicant name); and distinct name for the repair, replacement or mitigation work listed for assistance (Project Title). The PA Grant Awards Activities dataset does not collect, maintain, use, or disseminate any Personally Identifiable Information (PII).rnrnAs part of Congressional bill HR 152 - the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act of 2013, FEMA is providing the following information for our stakeholders:rn• Regionrn• Disaster Declaration Numberrn• Disaster Typern• Statern• Applicantrn• Countyrn• Damage Category Codern• Federal Share Obligatedrn• Date ObligatedrnrnFEMA obligates funding for a project directly to the Recipient (State or Tribe). It is the Recipient's responsibility to ensure that the eligible subrecipient (listed in the dataset as Applicant Name) receives the award funding.rnThis dataset lists details about project versions. Versions occur when the scope/cost changes for a project. Versions adjust the cost of the project with positive additions called obligations and subtractions called deobligations. Combined, they reconcile to reflect the Total Federal Share Obligation, but reconciliation occurs over the life of the project, sometimes years after the declaration date. The dataset represents project obligations within a seven-day period prior to the listed date but does not include obligations uploaded on the same day as the publication. Open projects still under pre-obligation processing are not represented.rnFor more information on the Public Assistance process see: https://www.fema.gov/assistance/public/process.rnThis is raw, unedited data from FEMA's Fac-trax database and as such is subject to a small percentage of human error.

The dataset was generated by FEMA’s Individual Assistance (IA) reporting team and contains raw, unedited data from FEMA's National Emergency Management Information System (NEMIS).rnThis dataset contains aggregated, non-PII data for registration renters from FEMA’s Housing Assistance program within the state, county, zip where the registration is valid for the declarations, starting with disaster declaration DR4116 (declared in 2013). Core data elements include number of applicants, county, zip code, and severity of damage, with individual data elements and descriptions listed in the metadata information within the dataset. rnData is self-reported and subject to human error. For example, when an applicant registers online, they enter their street and city address. The system runs a check and suggests a county. The applicant can override that choice. Similarly, with a call center registration, the Human Services Specialist (HSS) representatives are instructed to ask what county they live in. An applicant has the right to choose the county.rnThe financial information is derived from NEMIS and not FEMA's official financial systems.
