FEMA Public Assistance disaster grants in Georgia

Public assistance on a Georgia tag, not a storm scoreboard

CFDA 97.036 is titled DISASTER GRANTS - PUBLIC ASSISTANCE (PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTERS). Filtered to Georgia place of performance, obligations sum to $2,950,124,410.43 on 12 awards. The national Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) hub includes every state. Georgia's spending hub includes every program. This tie is the intersection. $2,950,124,410.43 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of storms, counties, or applicants in Atlanta, Savannah, or Augusta.

Public Assistance often posts as a small number of large assistance instruments rather than one row per project worksheet. The join does not name recipients, split the Piedmont and the coast, or count storms, counties, or applicants. Packet facts stop at $2,950,124,410.43, 12 awards, GA, and 97.036. Correlation is not causation.

97.036 is not hazard mitigation or Individual Assistance in Georgia

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (CFDA 97.039) and Individual Assistance sit on other Catalog numbers. Mixing those dollars into $2,950,124,410.43 would invent a broader total than this 97.036 × GA cell contains. Facts available: Georgia, CFDA 97.036, $2,950,124,410.43, 12 awards. Recipient names, subawards, and storm, county, or applicant counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters), not a ranking of Georgia outcomes. Dividing $2,950,124,410.43 by 12 yields about $245.84 million per award—a bundled public-assistance instrument, not a typical household insurance check. Unique recipients are unpublished. 12 is not a count of storms, counties, or applicants.

Georgia geography on the Disaster Public Assistance tag

GA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Atlanta, Savannah, or Augusta can share the tag. Awards coded to Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, or South Carolina stay outside $2,950,124,410.43 even when a metro, watershed, or service area approaches the border. A Piedmont worksheet and a coastal worksheet share one GA code. The code does not convert $2.95 billion into a damage map.

Georgia federal spending is the all-program parent. 97.036 is one row on Georgia programs. $2.95 billion is not the state's complete federal footprint. Open Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in Georgia for the filtered table, CFDA 97.036 for 97.036 without a Georgia filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,950,124,410.43.

Reading 12 awards under $2.95 billion

Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see how many of the 12 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $2,950,124,410.43 without changing the join key of 97.036 and GA.

What the Disaster Public Assistance–Georgia pair does not prove

A large 97.036 total tagged to Georgia does not measure whether a particular storm was the costliest, and it does not equal debris cubic yards. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $2,950,124,410.43 on 12 awards for Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in Georgia.

Keep both sides of the join: Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) and Georgia, obligations only. Do not annualize $2,950,124,410.43 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 12 as a storm, county, or applicant census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a program story.
