FEMA disaster assistance dollars — how much federal aid was approved or obligated for a declared disaster, by place. program=individuals (default) returns Individuals & Households Program (IHP) approved housing assistance, one record per ZIP per disaster, with FEMA-approved repair/replace, rental, and other-needs dollars and valid-registration counts (tenancy=owner default, or renter). program=public returns Public Assistance funded-project summaries, one record per applicant (state/local government, tribe, or eligible nonprofit) per disaster, with the federally obligated grant amount and project count. Filter by disasterNumber (the join key to gov.disaster-declarations), state (2-letter), and zipCode (5-digit, IHP only); results are ordered by approved/obligated dollars, highest first, with the total matching count and a normalized approvedAmountUSD per record. Free, public-domain (OpenFEMA). Distinct from gov.disaster-declarations (which disasters were declared + what was authorized), gov.risk-index (modeled future risk), and gov.nfip-claims (flood-insurance losses): this is the realized federal-spend record — for disaster-recovery, grants, insurance, and emergency-management workflows.
/api/gov/disaster-assistancePAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The disaster assistance API is a pay-per-call gov endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. FEMA disaster assistance dollars — how much federal aid was approved or obligated for a declared disaster, by place.
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in disaster assistance data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs gov data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
