SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (“Stafford Act”) authorizes the President to declare a major disaster or emergency for a State or Federally Recognized Tribe. Declaration of an emergency or major disaster generally contains the following elements: incident type; incident period; designation of affected geographical areas; designation of Stafford Act assistance programs authorized for the declaration; and Federal cost-share for the assistance programs. FEMA's regulations require FEMA to publish certain declaration information in the Federal Register . This includes 44 CFR 206.40(b) (requiring the publication of the designated areas and eligible assistance) and 44 CFR 206.32 (requiring the publication of the incident period). In addition, FEMA publishes in the Federal Register notices for declarations that communicate all the required information both upon the initial declaration by the President, and when that information changes because a declaration is amended.

Below are listed 17 amendments to Presidential declarations of emergencies and major disasters, issued under the Stafford Act from September 2, 2026 through September 24, 2026.
