This analysis examines the impact of various weather events on public health and economic costs based on storm data. It involves loading and preprocessing the data, calculating two key metrics: total health impact (sum of fatalities and injuries) and economic damage (sum of property and crop damage). The analysis then visualizes the top 10 most harmful events for health and the top 10 events with the largest economic impact through bar charts, providing insights into the most significant weather events in terms of their effects on people and the economy.

This document presents an analysis of the NOAA Storm Database, covering major weather events in the United States from 1950 to 2011. The main goal of the analysis is to identify weather events that have the greatest impact on public health and the economy. The report outlines the data processing steps, highlighting the events with the highest rates of fatalities, injuries, and economic damages. Results include tables and graphs that illustrate the most harmful events for population health and economic infrastructure, providing insights that could assist in decision-making for disaster preparedness.
