#Introduction ###Public health and econimic problems are affected by a number of reasons i am now going to analysize how storms and other severe weather events play a part. Storms and severe weather conditions causes fatalities and injuries and substantial property damage. Hence to minimze damages we should analyse the given data.
###This project requires us to analyse the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) storm database. This database tracks when and where major storms and weather events occur in the United States, estimated of any fatalities, injuries, and property damage figures are also provided.

#Across the United States, which types of events have the greatest economic consequences? ###Economic variables (PROPDMG,CROPDMG,PROPDMGEXP,CROPDMGEXP) calculate the total damage:
df.damage <- df %>% select(EVTYPE, PROPDMG,PROPDMGEXP,CROPDMG,CROPDMGEXP)
Symbol <- sort(unique(as.character(df.damage$PROPDMGEXP)))
Multiplier <- c(0,0,0,1,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10^9,10^2,10^2,10^3,10^6,10^6)
convert.Multiplier <- data.frame(Symbol, Multiplier)
df.damage$Prop.Multiplier <- convert.Multiplier$Multiplier[match(df.damage$PROPDMGEXP, convert.Multiplier$Symbol)]
df.damage$Crop.Multiplier <- convert.Multiplier$Multiplier[match(df.damage$CROPDMGEXP, convert.Multiplier$Symbol)]
df.damage <- df.damage %>% mutate(PROPDMG = PROPDMG*Prop.Multiplier) %>% mutate(CROPDMG = CROPDMG*Crop.Multiplier) %>% mutate(TOTAL.DMG = PROPDMG+CROPDMG)
