That should explain it pretty simply. But, for those who refuse to visit the link, here's the summary:
I don't know how to score things. I think things should have different scores, but I don't have a good thought about how to implement a scoring system.
I stand by my earlier idea of scoring different events in proportion to their damage radii.

I'm working on that. But that's a bigger fish to fry -- that will entail grabbing the person's IP address and getting a location based on that or going off of the entered address for each user.
Regardless, I think you'll agree, a snow storm doesn't exactly say "zombies" as much as an animal attack or an epidemic does ... am I right?
So, I ask again, take a look at the page and tell me how to distribute scores.

Actually, I meant radius from the origin of the event, not related to the individual user. For instance, a tsunami would have a radius of thousands of miles, a chemical spill a few dozen, and an animal attack no more than two or three miles (depending on the animal in question).

Uh I think it makes sense to me and how do you want help scoring things? Do you mean with 1 be the lowest and saying 10 being the highest?
Yeah. You got the right idea.
Hopefully this will explain what I'm up to:
This tool will evaluate the likelihood that disasters are signs of a zombie apocalypse. Events will be ranked in terms of the likelihood of this event being related to zombies. These will all add up to a score that would be based on the number of possible zombie-related events and the value assigned to each type of event.
Obviously, all events are not equal when related to zombies. A tsunami is hardly a sign of zombies, whereas, if there is a large number of animal attacks, it may be a sign of a zombie event.
So, I am having trouble determining how each event should be evaluated for threat and how to work out the scoring to the result makes the most sense.
I had them broken into categories, but I think I'll take them away. Just a single score for each event type. So, I think a tsunami would be a score of 1 or even 0, since its very likely to cause any zombie related event. A snowstorm would be the same, but an epidemic would be a higher score. A cosmic event shouldn't really be an issue, but it may be something to watch ... so it may have a low score, but higher than a snowstorm.

All that needs to be said is this: FIRE = BAD
I'm sorry, but I'm completely lost. Whats the Cause mean? and how do the numbers work?

Oh, yeah, you heard me! THE MUPPET SHOW SAID SO!!!
I'm afraid I concur

Make sense yet?

why not add
zombie encounter --- 10

Hey how is the Zombie watch tool coming alone anyway? Haven't heard anything about it for awhile.
