Sample Map
SHELDUS and other products of the Hazards Research Lab are used for environmental hazards analysis and management, and to facilitate local, State, and Federal efforts to improve emergency preparedness, planning, and response. This map layer is a subset of the information in SHELDUS and was compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey. The Spatial Hazard Events and Losses for the United States, 1995-2000 data set consists of 17 databases that portray county-level hazard data for the United States, for the years 1995 to 2000. Included is information for 16 different natural hazard event types, as well as the total cost of damage due to natural hazards and the property damage per square mile. The event types included are avalanches, coastal events, drought, flooding, fog, hail, heat, hurricanes/tropical storms, landslides, lightning, severe storms/thunderstorms, tornadoes, tsunamis/seiches, wildfires, wind, and winter weather. Included for each event type is information on property losses, crop losses, injuries, and fatalities. Additional information on various hazards is available from the National Climatic Data Center, the Storm Prediction Center, the National Hurricane Center, the National Geophysical Data Center, and the U.S. Fire Administration.
