Using the State Directory.

Public Assistance reaches local governments, Tribal governments, and private nonprofits through a recipient, which for most states is the state emergency management agency. This directory lists the recipient agency for each state, the District of Columbia, and five territories, along with its Public Assistance page where one is published, its FEMA region, and recent declarations.

What the regulation says

“You are the grant administrator for all funds provided under the Public Assistance grant program.”

Source: 44 CFR 206.202(b), eCFR

Our plain-language reading

The regulation addresses the state as recipient. The recipient passes Public Assistance funds to subrecipients, sends each Request for Public Assistance to FEMA, and is the office that tells potential applicants about the program after a declaration.

What FEMA says

“The Federal Emergency Management Agency consists of ten regions in the continental United States and territories.”

Source: FEMA, Regions

Our plain-language reading

Each state and territory falls within one of these ten regions. The region number on each card shows which FEMA regional office works with that recipient.

Using this directory

  1. Search by state, agency, or FEMA region.
  2. Open the recipient’s Public Assistance page for applicant briefings, forms, and contacts.
  3. Turn on “Declarations in the last 18 months only” to see which states have recent declarations, then check the Active Disasters board for designated areas.
