CSS-Riverside Staff Contribute to Billion Dollar Disaster StoryMap

January 21, 2025

CSS-Riverside would like to give a BIG shout out to the teams and partners with NOAA/NCEI, ICMS, and The Cadmus Group, LLC (Cadmus) that brought this amazing StoryMap to life! Thank you to the Riverside writers Alexander Lamb, and Noah Benitez-Nelson, CSS-Riverside developers Frankie Tran, Christopher Harrell, and Corey Hurt, and CSS-Riverside contributors & editors Heather Clark, Katrina Hichman, Daniel Wunder, and James Ramage. 
The title, “We May Not Be In Kansas,” inherently brings to mind house-lifting tornadoes, but severe weather events are dramatically modifying our way of life at increasing rates  – and costing billions! Check out NOAA’s article and experience the storymap for yourself here.
