In 2024, Rebuild by Design launched the 50 States | 50 Facts | 50 Weeks social media campaign to bring national attention to the true scope of climate impacts in the United States. Each week, we shared data-driven graphics highlighting how every state has been affected by federally declared disasters—ranging from hurricanes to wildfires to extreme heat—and the billions in recovery costs paid by taxpayers.

These state-level facts are drawn from the Atlas of Accountability, our interactive tool that tracks disaster declarations and federal funding from 2011 to 2024. By breaking the data down by state, we give advocates, local leaders, and everyday residents a way to see and share what’s happening in their communities—and why we must do better.
