Frequently Asked Questions

What is Severe Weather?
Severe Weather risk reflects the likelihood and health impact of weather hazards in a given area — including extreme heat, extreme cold, heavy precipitation, high winds, thunderstorms, and other severe events that could affect health and safety.
How is Severe Weather risk measured in New York?
Severe Weather risk in New York is reported as a weekly score on a four-point scale: Low, Moderate, High, and Very High. The score reflects the modeled burden of Severe Weather across the state, validated against public health data from CDC, HHS, NOAA, and other authoritative sources. Methodology details are available at https://www.hubbubworld.com/intelligence#methodology.
What methodology does Hubbub World use to calculate Severe Weather risk?
Hubbub World develops proprietary models on top of the underlying surveillance, environmental, and weather data to produce comparable risk scores across all U.S. counties. Each of the seven risks is reported on a four-point scale (Low, Moderate, High, Very High) so the scores are interpretable without needing the raw underlying numbers. The full methodology — including the modeling approach, validation against authoritative sources, and known limitations — is documented at https://www.hubbubworld.com/intelligence#methodology.
