The Hazard History & Consequence Tool is a database of historic hazard events and associated consequences that impacted New York City. It serves as a central repository of when, where, and what happened in the city during past events, and helps provide a local detail on the impacts of these events. We will demonstrate this tool, describe how it was created, and provide data samples for participants to work with. We would like to hear from the audience about suggestions and use cases for the tool and associated datasets. We are also available to answer general questions about NYCEM’s data.
