Department of Homeland Security in Louisiana

DHS awards on a Louisiana tag

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Louisiana as place-of-performance: 1,912 records summing to $21,405,772,776.33. A DHS award in Texas is a different cell. A USDA award in Louisiana sits under agency 012 even when a flood is in the same news cycle.

The implied mean is about $11.2 million per award. Recovery, preparedness, and component vehicles can share a relatively thin 1,912-row file. This packet does not split those rows by FEMA or any other component.

Department of Homeland Security in Louisiana is the overlay. Louisiana federal spending is the all-agency state hub. All spending ties lists other pairs. One thousand nine hundred twelve DHS records in Louisiana are thinner than Florida’s 18,337-row DHS file in this slice. $21,405,772,776.33 can therefore be dominated by fewer large vehicles. Department of Homeland Security in Louisiana should not be read as a historic-storm remainder.

Historic storms are not a join field

Named hurricanes and levee-failure histories are not packet facts. $21,405,772,776.33 does not equal Louisiana’s cumulative disaster bill. It sums award obligations with a 070 code and an LA tag in this extract.

Coast Guard, CBP, and FEMA are unnamed as splits. Do not assign all 1,912 awards to recovery. Do not treat the dollar column as a score of how exposed the coast is. Louisiana did not cause the cell by sitting on the Gulf. Geography plus agency code is the join. Correlation is not causation. Levee and parish names attach easily. This packet does not name them. Assigning $21,405,772,776.33 to a parish is a new extract. Louisiana federal spending still includes every other awarding agency. This join stays 070.
