This project focuses on exploring the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) storm database, which provides detailed information on significant storms and weather events across the United States. The database records the location and timing of these events, as well as their impact in terms of fatalities, injuries, and property damage. Severe weather events, such as storms, can lead to major public health and economic challenges for communities and local governments. Many of these events result in significant loss of life, injury, and damage to property, making it crucial to mitigate these impacts as much as possible. The objective of this analysis is to investigate the NOAA Storm Database and answer key questions about severe weather events: Which types of events are most harmful to population health across the United States? Which types of events have the most significant economic consequences nationwide? Data was analyzed using R, with a focus on identifying the types of events that are most harmful to public health and those that result in the greatest economic losses. Graphs and tables were used to illustrate the findings
