FEMA Public Assistance disaster grants in Oregon

Oregon-coded presidential PA, not a wildfire ledger

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 Willamette Valley and the coast, or count storms, counties, or applicants. Packet facts stop at $2,557,047,691.50, 15 awards, OR, and 97.036. Correlation is not causation.

97.036 is not hazard mitigation or Individual Assistance in Oregon

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (CFDA 97.039) and Individual Assistance sit on other Catalog numbers. Mixing those dollars into $2,557,047,691.50 would invent a broader total than this 97.036 × OR cell contains. Facts available: Oregon, CFDA 97.036, $2,557,047,691.50, 15 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 Oregon outcomes.

Unique recipients are unpublished. 15 is not a count of storms, counties, or applicants.

Oregon geography on the Disaster Public Assistance tag

OR is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Portland, Salem, or Eugene can share the tag. Awards coded to Washington, California, or Idaho stay outside $2,557,047,691.50 even when a metro, watershed, or service area approaches the border. A coastal declaration and a wildfire-season worksheet share one OR code. The code does not convert $2.56 billion into a damage map.

Oregon federal spending is the all-program parent. 97.036 is one row on Oregon programs. $2.56 billion is not the state's complete federal footprint. Open Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in Oregon for the filtered table, CFDA 97.036 for 97.036 without a Oregon filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,557,047,691.50.

Reading 15 awards under $2.56 billion

Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see how many of the 15 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $2,557,047,691.50 without changing the join key of 97.036 and OR.

What the Disaster Public Assistance–Oregon pair does not prove

A large 97.036 total tagged to Oregon 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 $2,557,047,691.50 on 15 awards for Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in Oregon.

Keep both sides of the join: Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) and Oregon, obligations only. Do not annualize $2,557,047,691.50 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 15 as a storm, county, or applicant census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a program story.
