Severe Weather risk levels incorporate National Weather Service alerts, temperature extremes, precipitation forecasts, and wind conditions. The index reflects the overall weather-related health risk including heat stress, cold exposure, and severe storm activity.
Data is updated multiple times daily based on NWS forecast cycles.

How is this data collected and updated?
Hubbub World pulls data from multiple authoritative sources: the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for flu, COVID-19, and RSV surveillance; the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for hospital and community health indicators; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for weather and air quality; and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) for allergen reporting. Data is collected continuously from these sources and aggregated to the county and state level on a weekly cadence.
What methodology does Hubbub World use?
Hubbub World fits 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.
