Welcome
This website features several charts of recent and historic disaster events and their outcomes. You may browse the charts online (using the buttons on the left) or order hard copies.
News (August 2010):
For the past few years, we have wanted to digitize the time line charts in order to present more information, make the charts more readily available to a wider array of users, and to be able to update them more often.
Now we have a demo of how the interactive application might look. We will need a sponsor to tackle the project. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact the webmaster of this site, Claire B. Rubin.
