What happens to a report
- We find the record in the federal file the page names.
- If our join, conversion or wording is wrong, we fix it at its cause, so every page built the same way is corrected too, and we add it to the log.
- If the federal file is wrong, we reply with where to report it (NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information for storm records, FEMA for declarations); the page follows the corrected file.
The log
| Date | What | The correction |
|---|---|---|
| Storm Events coverage stated as 2015-2025 | Pages and answers that described NOAA storm coverage as 2015-2025 were replaced when the full record from 1950 was loaded; every page now states the years each hazard was fully recorded. | |
| California state page label | The California page was renamed to describe natural-disaster history and to lead with the FEMA declaration count it shows. The records did not change. | |
| Federal-source and risk-score wording | The methodology was clarified to keep FEMA declarations, NOAA storm records and FEMA's modeled risk index apart. |
