Requests the federal government turned down

Where FEMA said no.

Not every request for a major disaster or emergency declaration is approved. This tracks the ones that were not, since FY2000: who asked, for what hazard, and how often a state's requests get turned down relative to how many it files.

Denial rate by state

Denied requests as a share of all requests filed (approved and denied). Darker means a state's requests are turned down more often, not that it files more requests.
