SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
assessing damages for area designations
under 44 CFR 206.40(b), FEMA uses a
countywide per capita indicator to
evaluate the impact of the disaster at the
county level. FEMA will adjust the
countywide per capita impact indicator
under the Public Assistance program to
reflect annual changes in the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers
published by the Department of Labor.
FEMA gives notice of an increase in
the countywide per capita impact
indicator to $3.78 for all disasters
declared on or after October 1, 2018.
FEMA bases the adjustment on an
increase in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers of 2.7 percent
for the 12-month period that ended in
August 2018. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor released the information on
September 13, 2018.
