The colored matrix provides a key for interpreting where a county falls on vulnerability and outage duration. Observed outage duration refers to the measured duration found in our dataset. The predicted average duration is the value predicted without a multilevel model after partial pooling of measures across counties, hazards, and years. Counties in white are those where no data was available for either hazard events or outages.
