2022 Events / Disasters - Natural & Weather Related

This article will keep a running list of links to websites, data repositories and news articles related to events / disasters both natural and weather related during the 2022 calendar year. Human-caused events / disasters is a separate article. Click here to read it.

To see 2021’s list, click here.

With the sheer number of events & disasters that take place around the US, let alone the world, there will be events I miss or don’t hear about. Where possible I am linking to data sources that keep track of the relevant information for that category. These are the first links in a category if such data source exists.

Categories

There are 39 categories broken down into 3 sections:

Human Caused Events / Disasters – 20 categories (click here to view this article)
Natural Events / Disasters – 7 categories
Weather Related Events / Disasters – 12 categories

The number at the end (0) indicates how many links to data sources and news articles are in each section and category. They are further broken down by month and listed in date order. Click a topic and month to see the information, data or news articles for that period. All links should open in a new tab.

Q: When will updates be posted?

A: ~~This article will be updated monthly at the beginning of each month posting all the articles collected from the previous month (i.e., June’s articles will be available in July).~~ This article is having performance issues, due to the vast number of articles, preventing me from adding more content. I am working on another way to post the information. I do have June, July and August’s articles ready but cannot add them at this time.

Q: Are all the articles free?

A: Most of them should be, yes. Some sites may require a free membership or paid subscription to read articles but most offer at least a few free articles each month if you don’t register or subscribe to their publication.
