Recorded global flood events from the supplied Global_Flood_Records.csv dataset. Counts show recorded flood events over time, not river discharge, water level, or live alerts. The partial latest-year records are kept in the data file but excluded from the main full-year trend. New verified rows can be added to data/source/flood-updates.csv and rebuilt locally.
