Read this as one year, not history. These are NOAA's 2025 figures — a single,
volatile year (a major event in another year would change them sharply). Deaths are NOAA
"direct" deaths only — indirect deaths (e.g. a heart attack while clearing storm debris) are excluded.
Where debris flow took the most lives in 2025
Highest recorded direct-death toll by state. This reflects 2025 events, not a state's standing risk.

What these figures mean
- RECORDED — the death, injury, and damage counts are NOAA Storm Events records of 2025 events, summed across states.
- CONTEXT — one volatile year; direct deaths only; damage is NOAA's estimate, not insured loss. Past toll is not a forecast of your risk.

This is the past toll — not your risk
Where debris flow killed people in 2025 is not where it will next, and a national count says nothing about your home. For your exposure, see your state and county risk profiles; for warnings, the National Weather Service. Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database.
