The free public tool tallies up direct economic losses, response costs and the toll of business interruptions tied to the most damaging disasters to strike the U.S. in near real-time. It’s been a staple for the insurance and reinsurance industries, which otherwise need to invest in their own analysis or rely on costly aggregation services. It also provides emergency managers and elected officials with an ongoing look at how increasingly volatile weather made worse by climate change is colliding with heavy development in disaster-prone areas.

This coupled with destroying FEMA should be beneficial to society. Insurance companies will pull out of FL, CA and tornado alley States.

the thing is, our tax dollars went to developing and maintaining that database for the last many decades., It is OUR database and OUR content. If these guys do;t want to use that information, so be it, but the rest of us paid for it and we should be demanding that our tax dollars not be wasted by pulling the plug on it.

My neighbor got axed from NIH. She was in tears, not because she lost her job, but because of all the research and data that was going to be lost or destroyed. She said what he's doing will set the US back at least 10 years if not more if he continues his cuts and anti-education, anti-science stance throughout his entire presidency.

Elon Musk will propose a replacement service and rent it to the USG for 10x the price.

It will take decades to recover from the damage this administration is doing to our country, and all the while the Chinese, Europeans and others will be making all of the advancements and hiring all of our best and brightest coming out of universities.

Oh look, we saved money by wiping away a speck of dust!

But we continue to fund, and increase allocation, to the massive bonfire of waste and fraud in our military/defense spending, while we talk endlessly about that speck of dust!
