Context
Flood-insurance claims and past disaster declarations for these counties relate to flooding and storms, not freezes. They are listed here only as local history from FEMA.
For example, FEMA records show 20,072 flood-insurance claims in one of the affected counties (FIPS 34025) since 1978, as of September 9, 2026. These counts cover only insured properties, so they understate total flood losses. Past FEMA declarations there include Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and the remnants of Hurricane Ida in 2021.
Updates
