Conclusions and Recommendations

In summary, from the data, Hurrican Harvey has mainly affected some states, the most prominent of which are
Texas and Louisiana. The total property damage caused by Harvey does not only depend on the frequence of
occurance but also on the intensity of each occuerance. This is because some counties with the most frequent
occurance are not among those with the greatest total property damage cost.
I recommend that the contractors be sent to the counties with the greatest property damage cost, being
Galveston, Fort Bend, and montgomery for Texas, and Calcasieu, Beauregard, and Acadia for Louisiana.
