This page joins that FEMA catalog program to California place-of-performance. It is not a wildfire diary, not a count of presidential declarations, and not an outlay conversion. USAspending.gov is the source. Later ingests can move both the dollars and the 30-award count; this prose is a snapshot of one packet.

Key figures

Thirty public-assistance awards tagged to California

CFDA 97.036 is Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters). California (CA) is the geography tag. Together they produce $21,189,486,602.30 and 30 records. A 97.036 award tagged to Oregon or Nevada is excluded. A California SNAP, school-lunch, SSDI, VA, or survivors-insurance row is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the disaster cell.

Thirty awards against $21,189,486,602.30 yields a mean of about $706,316,220 per record. That mean is not a typical debris-removal invoice. Large public-assistance vehicles to a state or a city can dominate dollars on a short row list. This packet does not name disasters, applicants, or categories of work.

Sacramento did not cause $21,189,486,602.30 by appearing as a state code. Correlation is not causation. Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in California is the live overlay.

What CFDA 97.036 is without becoming a fire-and-flood narrative

SpendingVault does not rank California’s disasters or its recovery speed. $21,189,486,602.30 is an obligation sum, not a damage estimate. CFDA 97.036 is the national hub without the California filter. This packet has no national public-assistance total, so none is compared to California.

FEMA declaration lists and after-action reports are other products. They are not the 30 USAspending.gov awards. Importing a fire name or a flood year would invent a statistic this packet does not contain.
