Recorded flood claims in Saguache County
FEMA counts claims on buildings with NFIP flood insurance, so land without an insured building never shows here. Claims counted from 1978 to Sep 2026.

Federal disaster declarations
Each federal declaration whose designated areas include the county, declared from January 2000 on, counted once by its FEMA disaster number. An emergency declaration and a major-disaster declaration for the same storm are two declarations, as FEMA numbers them. Declarations for tribal lands alone are not counted. The date shown is when the most recent incident began. Types are FEMA's incident types: an evacuation emergency for a storm elsewhere (Hurricane Katrina, 2005) counts under that storm. By kind: 3 major disasters and 3 emergencies.

Development in Saguache County
Places are Census places (cities, towns and named communities), counted inside their limits. Counted from USGS Annual NLCD land cover (2015, 2020 and 2025; 30 m squares on a 240 m grid, so edges are approximate). A square counts when it was forest, shrub, grassland, pasture, cropland or wetland in the start year and developed in 2025 (NLCD's developed classes, from lawns and roads to dense buildings). A satellite land-cover map misses some changes and mislabels a few; read it as a guide.
