Department of Homeland Security in West Virginia

DHS awards tagged to West Virginia

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, West Virginia as place-of-performance: 655 records summing to $1,639,780,562.98. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside WV is out. An award in West Virginia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. West Virginia (WV) excludes Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky. A Pittsburgh-coded award is Pennsylvania.

Six hundred fifty-five awards against $1,639,780,562.98 is a mid-thin DHS file: fewer rows than a thick assistance book, more than a 22-row Treasury cell. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 655 as 655 unique disaster declarations, unique applicants, or named FEMA regions. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in West Virginia is the both-keys table. West Virginia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without a WV filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Flood folklore is not a packet split. Do not treat 655 as a county-by-county declaration list. Correlation is not causation: West Virginia did not cause $1,639,780,562.98 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × WV only.

Not a flood or mine-rescue census

$1,639,780,562.98 does not measure disaster declarations, unique applicants, or named FEMA regions. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and a WV place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 655 awards as a census of disaster declarations, unique applicants, or named FEMA regions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If West Virginia federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $1,639,780,562.98 and 655, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.
