| # FEMA Public Assistance Open Projects: free sample (Tensorust LLC)
|
|
|
| 15,529 large FEMA Public Assistance projects that are obligated or in process but not closed out, carrying $115.9B in federal share; 7,928 were first obligated more than five years ago.
|
|
|
| **Headline:** Large Public Assistance projects are paid on actual cost and must be closed out project by project, so every open one is unfinished work: construction, documentation, cost reconciliation or closeout review.
|
|
|
| This repository is a **free teaser**, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has **15,529 rows** and is sold by Tensorust LLC: **[https://tensorust.com/datasets/fema-pa-large-projects/](https://tensorust.com/datasets/fema-pa-large-projects/)**.
