Flood Aggregates by Admin2 Region
flood_aggregates
Dartmouth Flood ObservatoryPublic Domain1985 - 20242
Annual and rolling-window flood aggregate statistics by admin2 region, derived from the published floods event source for cross-region comparison, ranking, and joins with other county-scale risk layers. The aggregate framework is ready, but the current published archive still covers a shorter historical window than the other core disaster packs.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental InformationU.S. government work / public domain1926 - 20252
County-level NOAA Storm Events reports for Flood, Flash Flood, Heavy Rain, and Debris Flow. Events are represented as points and reported county/admin footprints, not mapped inundation extents.
