Six small US maps showing number of billion-dollar disasters by type for each state

Image caption

Maps depict the number of times each state has been affected by different types of billion-dollar weather and climate disasters. Note that each state did not necessarily experience a full billion-dollar cost for an event to be counted; it only needed to be part of a regional event that caused one billion dollars or more in direct damages.
