Northampton and Sullivan counties each had 6 federally declared weather disasters from 2011 to 2021, more than anywhere else in Pennsylvania.
Northampton County had the most disasters but 11 other counties received more aid. Bradford County on Pennsylvania’s northern border got the most — $29.5 million, with more than $12 million alone for storms and flooding in 2018.
The Rebuild by Design report does not include state-declared disasters. It also pointedly notes that extreme heat does not qualify for federal disaster declarations despite its high risk to health because it doesn’t result in property damage.Steve Novak | For lehighvalleylive.com
