The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 8 fires within 5 miles of Gould between 2000 and 2015, burning about 5 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Deandale
• East View
• Kolmont
• Mingo Junction
• Valley Glen
• Altamont

Museums hold 575 specimens collected within 10 miles of Gould between 1836 and 1974: 354 Animalia, 179 Plantae, 41 Fungi, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. W. Cusick, Allison W. Cusick, BANKS, C S and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

The federal mineral resources record lists 5 workings within 5 miles of Gould: 4 producers, 1 plant. All of them still produce. What was taken out: Iron, Zirconium, Sand and Gravel, Construction, Iron, Chromium. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The National Weather Service names Gould in 3 storm reports between 2011 and 2026: 3 hail. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
