This report analyzes the impact of severe weather events on public health and the economy in the United States using the NOAA Storm Database. The database covers events from 1950 to 2011. We focus on two main questions: which events are most harmful to population health (fatalities and injuries) and which have the greatest economic consequences (property and crop damage). Our analysis reveals that Tornadoes are the most significant threat to population health, while Floods cause the most substantial economic damage. We processed the raw data to standardize economic damage values and aggregated the results by event type. The top 10 most impactful event types for both health and economy are presented in the Results section.
