TY - JOUR AU - Borden, Kevin A. AU - Cutter, Susan L. PY - 2008 DA - 2008/12/17 TI - Spatial patterns of natural hazards mortality in the United States JO - International Journal of Health Geographics SP - 64 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Studies on natural hazard mortality are most often hazard-specific (e.g. floods, earthquakes, heat), event specific (e.g. Hurricane Katrina), or lack adequate temporal or geographic coverage. This makes it difficult to assess mortality from natural hazards in any systematic way. This paper examines the spatial patterns of natural hazard mortality at the county-level for the U.S. from 1970–2004 using a combination of geographical and epidemiological methods.
