National Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Response System — CFDA 97.025

US&R obligations at $484.4M

USAspending.gov records $484,418,932.23 in obligations under CFDA 97.025. Those 145 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $3.34 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for task-force deployments, lives saved, or disaster responses completed. Other FEMA preparedness or disaster-response listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $484,418,932.23.

The assistance-listing title is NATIONAL URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE (US&R) RESPONSE SYSTEM. CFDA 97.025 is the identifier. Read the $484.4M headline — $484,418,932.23 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 97.025 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of task-force deployments, lives saved, or disaster responses completed.

145 awards on 32 sponsoring agencies

32 recipients share 145 awards. That is about 4.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $484,418,932.23 evenly would assign about $15.14 million per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of task-force deployments, lives saved, or disaster responses completed. The packet does not list the 32 named organizations. Read $484,418,932.23 only against CFDA 97.025.

Nineteen jurisdictions is a sponsoring-agency map, not a nationwide disaster-aid formula. US&R dollars follow funded task-force sponsors. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of task-force deployments, lives saved, or disaster responses completed. A simple average is about $3.34 million per award. Combining 97.025 with other FEMA preparedness or disaster-response listings under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

Award rows are not a deployment count

Among assistance listings, 97.025 is a concentrated task-force file: 145 awards against 32 named sponsoring organizations in 19 jurisdictions. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for task-force deployments, lives saved, or disaster responses completed. The recipient field (32 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (145) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report task-force deployments, lives saved, or disaster responses completed. Citing 145 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $484,418,932.23 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. Thirty-two recipients in 19 jurisdictions is a task-force sponsor pattern.

Obligations versus US&R outlays

The $484,418,932.23 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against National Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Response System awards — are not in the packet. A file can show a large obligation stock while draws, reimbursements, or closeouts follow a different schedule. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Treasury outlays are a separate series.

What the 97.025 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 19 jurisdictions. Nineteen jurisdictions is a sponsoring-agency map, not a nationwide disaster-aid formula. US&R dollars follow funded task-force sponsors. It is not a deployment log, not a Stafford Act public-assistance total, and not a firefighter-staffing census. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $484,418,932.23.

Place-of-performance on 19 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of National Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Response System funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.
