Usage

This subbox provides a tally of weather event effects. This includes direct storm casualties, damage (in USD), affected regions, and infrastructure damage. The |casualties= parameter can be used to combine the |fatalities=, |injuries=, and |missing= parameters, should there be minimal or no casualties.

This box will show damage and losses in United States dollars by default. Adding a |year= parameter will also indicate the year when displaying monetary values for contextualizing cost at a specific point in time.

References may be added with |refs= or |references=. However, as much as possible, avoid placing references directly into the box and instead use article content to place references. You may also use |IBTrACS= to link to the storm's International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) entry. Using both will make both appear at the bottom row; using only references will make the row height shrink to cut down on unnecessary whitespace.

Damage and economic losses can be set to a different currency using |currency= (or |damage-currency= and |losses-currency=), and a United States dollar-equivalent conversion can be provided. This can help contextualize weather events which impact a specific area. To set the USD conversion by hand, you can use |usd-damage= and |usd-losses= respectively. You can also opt to do these conversions automatically, as long as you provide a year and an ISO country code using |country=. Note that damage and losses are not multiplied. If the damage is 3 billion United States dollars, write |damage=3000000000, not |damage=3000.

The |year= parameter need not be the year that the event made impact, but rather a year relatively close to the year that it made impact, such that damage and losses can be calculated automatically.

When additional context is required, one may use |damage-suffix= to insert footnotes. |damage-prefix= can be used to insert symbols prior to the figure. losses also has suffix and prefix parameters, |losses-suffix= and |losses-prefix=, respectively.
