The Human and Financial Cost of Different Storm Types in The United States from 1951 to 2011
This work aims to identify which types of weather events are most costly to population health, as measured by injuries and deaths, and the economy, as measured by USD of damage. Data from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) storm database is utilised in the analysis. This database contains, amongst other measurements, details of fatalities, injuries, and property damage generated by different storm “Event Types”. Since it is troublesome to estimate the human cost of an injury compared to a fatality, these outcomes are initally treated seperately. The specific questions this work aims to answer are as follows: Across the United States, which types of events (as indicated in the EVTYPE variable) are most harmful with respect to population health? Across the United States, which types of events have the greatest economic consequences?
