As part of the commitment
to increasing the transparency and accessibility of data, FEMA introduced a new
interactive tool to allow the public to explore currently available FEMA grant
data. The tool, available at www.fema.gov/data-visualization,
allows the public to see a visual representation of the agency's federal grant
data as it relates to fire, preparedness, mitigation and public assistance. The
tool also visualizes disaster declarations by state, hazard and county.
The tool is in BETA
because FEMA is seeking comments on how it can be improved, so comments and
suggestions are welcome. FEMA will continue to add data and update the visual
based on feedback in the coming months.
