This database contains details on a wide variety of disaster recovery funding programs available from federal agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Association, the US Department of Agriculture, and Housing and Urban Development. The table was developed by Cara Caruolo at Northern Arizona University in partnership with researchers from Utah State University and the University of Idaho and updated by FAC Net staff, with funding from the Joint Fire Science Program. It is current as of September 2025.
You can access the database directly at this link, or read on for a few instructions on how to access different features of the database. (Please excuse all errors and typos as federal program details change often.)
