Towards the R package sheldus, Part 1: Natural Disaster Losses in the US in 2012
The SHELDUS database, short for Spatial Hazard Events and Losses Database in the United States (http://webra.cas.sc.edu/hvri/products/sheldus.aspx), from the University of South Carolina, is a database on human and property losses from natural disasters in the United States. Data from this database includes County-level information on property ...

Towards the R package sheldus: Part 2: Losses from Natural Disasters in the US
In my earlier post I summarized the work on my upcoming R package on the SHELDUS database. This is a database on human and property losses from natural disasters in the United States. Although the data is free, downloading the data is tedious and so is cleaning and analyzing it. My goal is to package the data efficiently so it could be accessed ...

Towards the R package emdat: Losses from Global Disasters, Part 1
The International Disaster Database, EM-DAT from the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED, Belgium) is often used as a reference for losses on human life and property resulting from natural and man-made disasters. This database has over 20,000 country-level records from the early 1900s to the present. Data is av...

The Rain Project: An R-based Open Source Analysis of Publicly Available Rainfall Data
Rainfall data used by researchers in academia and industry does not always come in the same format. Data is often in atypical formats and in extremely large number of files and there is not always guidance on how to obtain, process and visualize the data. This project attempts to resolve this issue by serving as a hub for the processing of such p...
