The NWS collects event reports from a variety of sources, which include (but are not limited to): county, state, and federal emergency management officials, local law enforcement officials, SKYWARN spotters, NWS damage surveys, newspaper clipping services, the insurance industry, and the general public, among others.
The National Weather Service reports property and crop damage estimates using available data at the time of event reporting. These values should therefore be considered broad estimates. Damage amounts are not adjusted for inflation.
Zone (NWS Forecast Zone): A zone is a geographic area defined by the NWS for issuing forecasts, watches, and warnings. While zones often align with counties, they can also represent smaller or subdivided areas within a county to account for differences in weather conditions, such as elevation or proximity to water. Larger-scale events—such as heat, cold, drought, and winter storms—are typically recorded by zone.

The five hazards
| Hazard | 1950 to 2026 | 2000 to 2009 | 2010 to 2019 | 2020 to 2026 | Newest event |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hail | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | None on record |
| Tornado | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | None on record |
| Flood | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | None on record |
| Wind | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | None on record |
| Winter | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | None on record |
| Other event types | 0 | Heat, cold, drought, wildfire, lightning, fog, tropical and other types | |||
| All storm events | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | None on record |
A hazard name opens the page of that hazard for the county. A hazard has a page from 10 events. The year 2026 has the events through 30 Jun 2026 only.
NCEI records many Alaska events for areas that do not match boroughs and census areas. The state page counts all of them. A county count has the events that NCEI gives to the county. It also has the events of a forecast zone that has the name of the county. A zone with another name counts for the state only.
In Alaska, storm events are reported and organized differently than the rest of the U.S; instead of using counties or boroughs for search and reporting, many events are recorded over large, sparsely populated areas that do not align consistently with borough boundaries.
| Measure | Kodiak Island | All counties of Alaska | All counties of the United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Storm events for each 100 square miles, 1950 to 2026 | 0.0 | 0.1 | 49.3 |
| Storm events for each 10,000 residents, 1950 to 2026 | 0.0 | 5.5 | 52.5 |
| NFIP claims for each 1,000 policies in force, 2016 to 2025 | no figure | 59.5 | 185.3 |
The columns for the state and the United States total the counties. They count the events of each county in the same way as the county column. The site gives a rate for each 10,000 residents only from 10,000 residents. Residents and area: Census Bureau, 2021.

The National Risk Index dataset leverages available source data for natural hazard and community risk factors to develop a baseline relative risk measurement for each United States county and Census tract.
The rating is a qualitative categorization that describes the community in comparison to all other communities at the same level, ranging from “Very Low” to “Very High.”
The National Risk Index data are meant for planning purposes only.
The labels and the ratings are those of FEMA. Expected Annual Loss is a figure for a whole county. It is not a figure for a property. How to read the National Risk Index
