Bill Bacon, a Senator from the State of New York, is asking the federal government to pay for projects to reduce the impacts of natural hazards in his state. Dan Deluge, a Senator from the State of Illinois, believes that Senator Bacon’s request is a waste of money. He thinks that his state should receive the money instead.

Support your claim using data about natural hazards in each state (use the data table below to help you gather evidence).
