Flooding in America is a periodic natural hazard that impacts numerous communities yearly, causing substantial property damage, displacement, and fatalities. Monitoring significant floods over time is vital for indemnifying trends, improving predictive models, and enhancing disaster preparedness and response strategies. The geovisualization of significant flood events from 1985 to 2024 presented below were created using data made publicly available by the Dartmouth Flood Observatory, with the hopes of helping people better understand the impact of flooding in the United States. The Dartmouth Flood Observatory gathered this data from various sources, including news reports, government information, instrumental readings, and remote sensing. 

The visualization below identifies the states that are most likely to experience severe flooding. Texas and California, which experienced 62 and 32 significant floods, respectively, since 1985.
