How the figures are counted: a declaration is counted once per state and incident type by its FEMA disaster number, even when it designates many areas; shares and the yearly average are calculated by this site from those counts.
Worked example: Vermont, Severe Storm: 29 declarations over 30 years (1995–2024) = 0.97 per year on average.
