FINAL PROJECT

My Links:

NOAA's Original Billion Dollar Disaster Map
This is where I got the idea for my map. I found it and hated how it looked! So I put my own spin on it and added a few disasters.

NOAA's Site with the Entire Report
I got the data for the choroplth part of my map here also.

Top 10 Most Costly Earthquakes (as of 2004)
This is where I got data on two of the three earthquakes shown on the map.

Wikipedia - Mt. St. Helens Eruption 1980
I got the data here, nd confirmed it elsewhere for the map. This site also has some cool pictures.

RED CROSS Earthquake Report 2007
This is where I confirmed the three largest earthquakes, including the 2001 earthquake in WA state. This site also has info on preparedness.

Epic Disasters: Top 10 Costliest Hurricanes
This site also has a bunch of links to more epic disasters for the U.S. and the world.
