The area around Bethal scores 52 of 100 today: lower combined natural hazard than 52% of the land on Earth.

Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 41 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 51.7; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 83.5 and its weakest is air quality at 20.6. Flood. Flood pillar 40.6, safer than 41% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0 m.

Wind pillar 63.7, safer than 27% of land cells and level with 73%; tropical storm passes nearby 0 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 63.5, safer than 27% of land cells and level with 73%; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 0 events/century.

Air quality pillar 20.6, safer than 21% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 24.5 µg/m³. Source: Washington University SatPM2.5 (vintage: 2020-2024 annual mean). Climate velocity. Climate velocity pillar 83.5, safer than 84% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.20 °C/decade. Source: NASA GISTEMP (vintage: 2024). Coverage: Tornado records cover the United States only, so this area has no tornado reading: a gap in the record, not a measured zero. This is a statistical summary of public hazard data, not advice about any property or decision.

Terra scores ~10 km hexagonal cells from public global datasets — it is area analysis, not a property assessment. Tornado history covers the United States only; flood hazard is modeled at ~1 km and ignores local defenses; hurricane records before 1966 and wildfire records before 2001 are incomplete. Where data is missing or coarse for your area, Terra says so instead of guessing.
