Impact assessemnt of NOAA Storm Events in the USA between 1950 and 2011
Storms and other severe weather events can cause both public health and economic problems for communities and municipalities. Many severe events can result in fatalities, injuries, and property damage, and preventing such outcomes to the extent possible is a key concern.
This project involves exploring the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) storm database. This database tracks characteristics of major storms and weather events in the United States, including when and where they occur, as well as estimates of any fatalities, injuries, and property damage.
The basic goal of this assignment is to explore the NOAA Storm Database and answer some basic questions about severe weather events.
The events in the database start in the year 1950 and end in November 2011.
