USAspending - Disaster/Emergency Funding

Emergency and disaster funding data from USAspending.gov, tracking spending for major events like COVID-19, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and other disaster/emergency appropriations identified by Disaster Emergency Fund Codes (DEFC).

This dataset provides comprehensive tracking of how emergency and disaster funds are allocated and spent across:

• Government agencies
• Federal accounts
• Recipients (contractors, grant recipients, etc.)
• Geographic locations (states, counties, congressional districts)

Data includes both obligations (funds committed) and outlays (actual payments). DEFC codes identify the specific emergency or disaster appropriation, such as:

• L, M, N, O, P: COVID-19 pandemic relief
• 1: Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
• Various codes for natural disasters, wildfires, and other emergencies
