The application is the capstone project for the Coursera Data Science specialization held by professors of the Johns Hopkins University and in cooperation with SwiftKey.

We analyze the impact of Storms and other severe weather events on public health and economic problems based on U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) storm database. The events in the database start in the year 1950 and end in November 2011. We use data of fatalities, injuries, property and crop damage to decide which types of event are most harmful to the population health (fatalities and injuries) and economy (property and crop damage).
