This report analyzes the impacts of severe weather events on public health and the economy using NOAA’s Storm Database. We load and clean the raw CSV data, then evaluate each event type based on fatalities and injuries to assess public health risks. We also calculate and rank economic losses by event type. Visualizations are used to highlight the most harmful weather types. The analysis is performed in R, using packages like dplyr for data manipulation and ggplot2 for visualization. The goal is to help government managers understand the risks associated with different weather events and prioritize resources accordingly.
