Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Georgia

DHS awards tagged to Georgia

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Georgia as place-of-performance: 2,245 records summing to $6,152,128,432.23. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside GA is out. An award in Georgia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Georgia (GA) excludes Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee. A Jacksonville-coded award is Florida.

Two thousand two hundred forty-five awards is a mid-count DHS file: neither a handful of disaster vehicles nor an assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 2,245 as 2,245 unique disaster declarations, border crossings, or named FEMA events. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Georgia is the both-keys table. Georgia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without a GA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Hartsfield-Jackson and the Port of Savannah are not named in the facts. Do not assign $6,152,128,432.23 to a facility. Correlation is not causation: Georgia did not “cause” $6,152,128,432.23 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × GA only.

Not FEMA declarations or a border score

$6,152,128,432.23 does not measure disaster declarations, border crossings, or named FEMA events. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and a GA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 2,245 awards as a census of disaster declarations, border crossings, or named FEMA events. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Georgia federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $6,152,128,432.23 and 2,245, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.

Georgia, not a Southeast DHS rollup

Place of performance GA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Georgia (GA) excludes Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee. A Jacksonville-coded award is Florida. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Hartsfield-Jackson and the Port of Savannah are not named in the facts. Do not assign $6,152,128,432.23 to a facility. This packet does not split $6,152,128,432.23 by city, county, or named facility. 2,245 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Preparedness vehicles still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $6,152,128,432.23 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Georgia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Georgia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 2,245-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $6,152,128,432.23.

Citing DHS in Georgia

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $6,152,128,432.23 on 2,245 awards coded to Georgia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as disaster declarations, border crossings, or named FEMA events.

Prefer Department of Homeland Security in Georgia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Georgia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to GA. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the GA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $6,152,128,432.23.

A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, Georgia, $6,152,128,432.23, and 2,245. The compact headline $6.15 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2.74 million is $6,152,128,432.23 divided by 2,245. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
