All declarations on record

Individual Assistance to households

FEMA Individual Assistance to households across Oklahoma, combined across the Housing Assistance owner and renter programs. Valid registrations are households that applied within a designated Individual Assistance area; approved figures are those FEMA found eligible under the Individuals and Households Program. Self-reported, drawn from NEMIS through OpenFEMA, and present only where Individual Assistance was designated.

Hazard mitigation funded

Federal Hazard Mitigation Assistance obligated across Oklahoma to reduce future disaster losses, by program. Figures are federal share obligated, reported through OpenFEMA and not audited.

Denied requests

FEMA turned down 14 declaration requests from Oklahoma since FY2000, a declaration-request denial rate of 6.3%. This is the President denying a governor or tribal leader's request for a declaration, tracked in a separate FEMA dataset from approved declarations, and is not the same thing as an individual being denied assistance under an approved declaration.

Declarations not attributed to a specific locality

3 declarations in Oklahoma applied statewide, or to areas FEMA did not tie to a single county or equivalent, such as wildfire management zones. They are included in the state totals above but do not appear on any individual jurisdiction page.
