# IoW Storm Events Database

## What is the IoW Storm Events Database Explorer?

The [IoW Storm Events Database (SED)](https://stormevents.internetofwater.app/) is a comprehensive data exploration tool that gathers millions of data points from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. By sourcing NOAA’s vast storm data collection into a single, intuitive platform, the SED makes it easier than ever to unlock new insights and access critical weather information.       

 

The SED lowers technical barriers to access this data so that anyone—including researchers, emergency planners, community leaders—can make data-driven decisions to protect their community. Users can search and download data from a variety of weather events, such extreme heat and cold, tropical storms, flooding, from the past 50+ years.

## Our Partners

The SED was developed for the Internet of Water Coalition in partnership with [Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment and Sustainability](https://nicholasinstitute.duke.edu/), [Earth Genome](https://www.earthgenome.org/), and [The Commons](https://www.ourcommoncode.org/). This collaboration highlights the power of accessible, connected data and visualization platforms, and demonstrates how the water data community can transform massive federal datasets into usable mediums.
