Description
The Public Assistance Funded Projects Details dataset contains obligated (financial obligation to grantee) Public Assistance projects, lists public assistance recipients designated as applicants in the data, and a list of every funded, individual project, called project worksheets. Open projects still under pre-obligation processing are not represented. Applicant details can be obtained by relating this dataset with the OpenFEMA Public Assistance Applicants dataset using the Applicant ID field.
FEMA provides supplemental Federal disaster grant assistance for debris removal, emergency protective measures, and the repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged, publicly owned facilities and the facilities of certain Private Non-Profit (PNP) organizations through the PA Program (CDFA Number 97.036). The PA Program also provides 406 hazard mitigation funding for damaged facilities during the recovery process to encourage protection from future events. See FEMA PA Hazard Mitigation: https://www.fema.gov/assistance/public/hazard-mitigation
Data comes from FEMA's Applicant Case Tracker (FAC-Trax), which includes the Grants Manager (GM) database. This raw unedited data is subject to a small percentage of human error. The financial information is derived from GM and not FEMA's official financial systems. Due to differences in reporting periods, status of obligations, and application of business rules, this financial information may differ slightly from official publication on public websites such as www.usaspending.gov. This dataset is not intended to be used for any official federal reporting.
The data has been incorporated into a graphic visualization at Public Assistance Program Summary of Obligations: https://www.fema.gov/data-visualization/public-assistance-program-summary-obligations. Questions pertaining to the data visualizations should be addressed to EnterpriseAnalytics@fema.dhs.gov.
