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). rnrnAs part of disaster declarations, the President can make federal funding (Public Assistance) available through FEMA to eligible state, local and tribal governments and certain private nonprofit organizations. This is done on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair, replacement, or mitigation work for facilities damaged by the disaster event. rnrnAs part of Congressional bill HR 152 - the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act of 2013, FEMA is providing the following information for our stakeholders: Region, Disaster Declaration Number, Disaster Type, State, Applicant, County, Damage Category Code, Federal Share Obligated, and Date Obligated.rnrnNote: FEMA 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.rnrnThis dataset lists details about project versions (occurring 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. For more information on the Public Assistance process see: https://www.fema.gov/assistance/public/processrnrnThis is raw, unedited data from FEMA's Emergency Management Mission Integrated Environment (EMMIE) system and as such is subject to a small percentage of human error. The financial information is derived from EMMIE and not FEMA's official financial systems. Due to differences in reporting periods, status of obligations and how business rules are applied, this financial information may differ slightly from official publication on public websites such as usaspending.gov.
