Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Florida
The Department of Homeland Security shows $27,505,064,285.50 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Florida, across 18,337 awards. Awarding-agency 070 and Florida (FL) are the pair. Storm-season memory is not a license to call this cell “the hurricane budget.” FEMA is one component among others, and this packet does not split them. The dollars are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- DHS in Florida: $27,505,064,285.50 across 18,337 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $1.50 million per record.
- Agency 070 × FL is not a named-storm ledger and does not split components.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
DHS’s Florida-coded award book
Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Florida as place-of-performance: 18,337 records summing to $27,505,064,285.50. A DHS award in Georgia is a different cell. A USDA disaster-adjacent award in Florida sits under agency 012, not 070.
The implied mean is about $1.50 million per award. Recovery grants, preparedness awards, and component contracts can share the 18,337-row file. This packet does not publish that mix.
Department of Homeland Security in Florida is the overlay. Florida federal spending is the all-agency state hub. All spending ties lists other pairs. Eighteen thousand three hundred thirty-seven DHS records in Florida are thicker than Louisiana’s 1,912-row DHS cell in this slice. That comparison is two joins, not a ranking of storm damage. $27,505,064,285.50 is the obligation sum for agency 070 inside FL coding. Department of Homeland Security in Florida does not split FEMA from other components.
Hurricanes are not a USAspending filter here
Named storms, landfall counts, and insured-loss totals are not packet facts. $27,505,064,285.50 does not equal Florida’s disaster bill. It sums award obligations with a 070 code and an FL tag.
Coast Guard, CBP, Secret Service, and FEMA are unnamed as splits. Do not assign all 18,337 awards to recovery. Do not treat the dollar column as a score of how hard the last storm hit. Florida did not cause the cell by sitting in a hurricane belt. Climate is not a packet field. The join is 070 × FL. Correlation is not causation. Named storms attach easily. This packet does not name them. Relabeling $27,505,064,285.50 as a hurricane appropriation mixes this extract with other ledgers. Florida federal spending still includes USDA, VA, Education, and DOT cells that are not 070.
Recovery vehicles and unpaid commitments
Public-assistance and hazard-mitigation vehicles often obligate across years. $27,505,064,285.50 can include amounts still unpaid. Citing it as cash already spent in Florida confuses obligations with outlays.
Tallahassee’s budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with USAspending.gov leaves this series. Florida DHS’s 18,337 records are thicker than Louisiana’s 1,912-row DHS cell. That is two joins, not a ranking of storms. $27,505,064,285.50 is agency 070 inside FL coding. Department of Homeland Security in Florida does not name hurricanes. Component splits are unpublished.
Statewide FL, not a Panhandle-versus-South split
This packet does not split $27,505,064,285.50 by landfall region. 18,337 awards stay statewide. A county disaster table would be a different extract.
Department of Homeland Security is the 070 hub without a Florida filter. Use it for the agency book. Recovery amendments can move 18,337 and $27,505,064,285.50 years after landfall. Department of Homeland Security in Florida is not a named-storm ledger. Component splits remain unpublished.
