GovBot Disaster History

Read-only access to the public record of past disasters in the United States: recorded flood events and the federal declarations, recovery projects, flood insurance claims and mitigation funding that followed. No account or sign-in is required.

Sources

• NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information: Storm Events Database flood-related records (Flood, Flash Flood, Heavy Rain, Coastal Flood, Lakeshore Flood), 1996–2025, with deaths, injuries, damage estimates and narratives. Served from a dated copy of the published annual files.
• FEMA OpenFEMA: Disaster Declarations Summaries, Public Assistance Funded Projects Details, FIMA NFIP Redacted Claims and Hazard Mitigation Assistance Subapplications, read live.
