Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) (CFDA 97.036) obligations coded to Florida total $15,361,630,588.11 on USAspending.gov across 36 awards. The join is FEMA’s public-assistance Catalog number plus a Florida place-of-performance tag. It is not a storm-by-storm ledger, not an insurance payout file, and not a finding that Florida is the most disaster-prone state. Thirty-six PA actions are how the prime file stored Florida-tagged 97.036 rows, not a storm count and not a county count.

Key figures

  • Florida FEMA Public Assistance (CFDA 97.036): $15,361,630,588.11 on 36 USAspending awards.
  • The implied mean is about $426,712,000 per award; 36 is not 36 hurricanes.
  • Individual Assistance and flood insurance are outside this join.
  • Cite obligations, not reimbursements paid; no fiscal year is in the packet.
  • The join is 97.036 × FL, not a disaster ranking.

Public assistance on a Florida tag, not a hurricane scoreboard

Keep USAspending rows labeled DISASTER GRANTS - PUBLIC ASSISTANCE (PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTERS) whose geography is Florida (FL). Thirty-six awards remain. They sum to $15,361,630,588.11. Public assistance reimburses eligible costs of state, local, tribal, and certain private-nonprofit applicants after a presidential declaration. The extract does not name the declarations, the applicants, or the debris piles.

The implied mean is about $426,712,000 per award. Large PA awards can bundle many projects. Thirty-six is not 36 hurricanes and not 36 counties. Modifications and consolidated awards can keep the row count small while dollars stay large.

Florida federal spending is every CFDA on an FL tag. CFDA 97.036 is public assistance nationwide. Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in Florida is the overlap. Florida programs and All spending ties are the indexes beside it.

Applicants can be counties, cities, school boards, and certain nonprofits. None of those types is listed in the facts. $15,361,630,588.11 is the obligation sum, not an applicant roster.

Florida SNAP in this slice is three awards. Public assistance is 36. Different Catalog numbers produce different grains. Do not read the thicker PA file as proof of more ‘need’ than SNAP.

What 97.036 excludes even after a storm

Individual Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, flood insurance, and Small Business Administration disaster loans are other Catalog numbers or other agencies. They are not inside $15,361,630,588.11. Mixing them in would be a different join.

Place-of-performance for PA often follows the applicant or the declared state. Work on a barrier island can be billed through a county award tagged FL; work coded to another state would not appear here even if contractors mobilized from Florida. The 36-row file is not a damage map.

Presidential declarations are a legal predicate for this CFDA. The packet still does not list which declarations sit under the $15,361,630,588.11 sum. This page will not invent storm names.

Hazard mitigation that is not coded 97.036 is outside this join even when it follows the same hurricane. Keep the Catalog number in the sentence when you quote $15,361,630,588.11.
