Data Quality
Mortality data from CY2007 to CY2023 are included in this output. These are the best available data at the time of collection by the Public Risk Management Program (PRMP). PRMP aggregates data from NPS systems that are updated continuously. If queried today, data from the same time period might be slightly different.

Prior to 2014, the PRMP collected data only on unintentional deaths (e.g. drownings, motor vehicle crashes, falls) versus all deaths (unintentional, intentional, medical, and undetermined deaths). This accounts for the significant difference in total number of deaths between CY2007-CY2013 and CY2014-Present.

Data for CY2017-CY2023 are provisional and have not undergone the quality check process. These data are subject to change as information continues to be collected and analyzed – as such, they are estimates that may differ from the final count. The NPS is working to validate and finalize all records before publishing them.

Communicating Safely About Suicide
This data output includes information about completed suicides. Studies show that reading, hearing, or seeing messages about suicide or suicidal behaviors can trigger vulnerable individuals and increase the risk of suicide and suicidal behaviors.

Communication is a powerful tool. The National Park Service Public Risk Management Program recommends that anyone who communicates about suicides does so in a way that reduces stigma, provides resources for those who need them, and shares a message of hope. Please craft stories that inform the public, raise awareness, and promote resilience
