Description:

In 2012, NOAA commissioned an external review of four disaster loss estimates produced by NOAA resulting in 50 recommendations for improving the accuracy and consistency of these estimates. In 2013-2014, a cross-NOAA working group, including staff members from each office producing estimates under consideration, reviewed the 50 recommendations, identifying eight high-priority items for immediate implementation. The recommendations of the cross-NOAA working group were then reviewed by the NOAA Social Science Committee and revised to reflect their input, as reflected in the document below.
