"What People Google After a Disaster"

Data Page

Home

For my data project, I chose to analyze how natural disasters will increase the numbers of searches and how we can use these searches to uncover the relevance of specific natural disasters in certain states .

I choose this topic because I am interested in how people respond to disasters, how they prepare, and where there are more disasters than on average. I expect to find an increased amount of searches for certain disasters in areas of high risk and before, during, and after a natural disaster.
