Public assistance, not flood insurance

Flood Insurance (CFDA 97.022) is a different DHS catalog. This Colorado overlay is public assistance for presidentially declared disasters, not a flood-insurance book. Mixing those series into $2,332,820,931.64 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Colorado, CFDA 97.036, $2,332,820,931.64, 7 awards. Declaration numbers, incident names, and applicant names are unpublished.

The catalog title names Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters), not a ranking of Colorado counties by damage. Dividing $2,332,820,931.64 by 7 yields about $333.26 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 7 is not a declaration, applicant, or project census.

Illinois's 97.036 overlay in this harvest is $2,302,155,519.87 across 5 awards; Pennsylvania is $1,984,587,998.08 across 6; Michigan $1,603,052,044.95 across 6; South Carolina $1,541,050,754.01 across 15. Those are other state keys. Do not stack them onto $2,332,820,931.64. The packet names no fires, floods, or counties. Quote Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in Colorado, CFDA 97.036, Colorado federal spending, Colorado programs, and All spending ties as separate pages rather than summing them.

Colorado geography, not a Front Range map

CO is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Denver, Colorado Springs, or Fort Collins can share the tag. Awards coded to Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma stay outside $2,332,820,931.64 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $2.33 billion into a wildfire or flood atlas.

Colorado federal spending is the all-program parent. 97.036 is one row on Colorado programs. $2.33 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in Colorado for the filtered table, CFDA 97.036 for the catalog without a Colorado filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,332,820,931.64.

A thin disaster file with a large mean

$2,332,820,931.64 ÷ 7 is about $333.26 million per award. That average is a high-eight-figure mean on a thin file, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 7 as a record count, not as 7 unique disasters or 7 named applicants.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 7 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $2,332,820,931.64 without changing the join key of 97.036 and CO. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $2,332,820,931.64 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Disaster Grants - Public Assistance plus Colorado. Do not treat $2,332,820,931.64 as an outlay series.

What Colorado public assistance does not prove

A large 97.036 total tagged to Colorado does not measure whether a named incident is closed, and it does not equal reimbursements already drawn. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $2,332,820,931.64 on 7 awards for Disaster Grants - Public Assistance in Colorado.

Keep both sides of the join: Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) and Colorado, obligations only. Do not annualize $2,332,820,931.64 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 7 as a declaration, applicant, or project census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a wildfire-season narrative. Cite Disaster Grants - Public Assistance together with Colorado whenever you reuse $2,332,820,931.64.
