Kritika Gowda's Data Science Capstone Project Presentation for Johns Hopkins Coursera

The United States (US) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) NOAA Storm Database is analyzed to provide information about severe weather events. Information about which types of weather events across the United States are most harmful to population health and which types of events across the United States are most costly for the economy is found. Using the data provided, more characteristics of these storms concerning when and where they occur and estimates of any fatalities, injuries, and property damage can be explored to prevent such outcomes to the extent possible. The analysis shows that tornados have the most impact on the population’s health and the nation’s economy.
