Historical Disasters 2.0
Explore reviewed county profiles built from two independent official datasets. FEMA declarations show federal administrative actions; NOAA Storm Events records show county-coded observed-event reports. HazardNow keeps those histories separate from each other and from modeled risk.

Record totals are not a danger score, probability, or statement of current conditions. Reporting rules, administrative decisions, and coverage periods shape the counts. Use the live dashboard for current conditions and official agencies for emergency instructions.
Administrative history
Unique federal disaster declarations that contain a county designation. A declaration is a government action under federal disaster programs; it is not a complete inventory of every local hazard event.
Observed-event history
Distinct reports explicitly coded as county events. Statistics use the comparable all-event era beginning in 1996 and exclude forecast-zone and marine-zone records from county totals.
The sources are never added together. Every comparison below stays within one source, one unit, and a matched coverage period.
State baselines summarize all county equivalents in the validated source corpora. County profiles add source-specific records, methodology, freshness, limitations, and practical context.
