Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in Massachusetts

Massachusetts × 97.036 is a PA join, not a nor'easter ranking

SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $3,586,810,380.88 on 8 awards. The join is FEMA's Public Assistance listing for presidentially declared disasters, crossed with a Massachusetts location field, not a ranking of which winter storm was worse and not the state's entire FEMA book.

Those statistics are not in the packet. Massachusetts (MA) excludes Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. A Rhode Island PA award is another cell.
