FEMA, the agency responsible for handling natural disasters in the United States, has already declared 16 major disasters in 2014 and it's only May. In 2013, the agency declared 62 disasters while in 2011 this number came in at 99. Sadly, these declarations don't include emergency declarations or fire management assistance declarations. If these numbers were to be included, 2011 would hold the top spot for disaster declarations over the past 61 years, with 242 total disaster declarations during that 12 month period.
