The area around Blythe scores 41 of 100 today: lower combined natural hazard than 41% 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 39 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 41.1; its strongest pillar is flood at 79.2 and its weakest is heat at 8.9. Flood. Flood pillar 79.2, safer than 79% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.22 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Tornado. Wind pillar 21.1, safer than 21% of land cells; tornado touchdowns nearby 0.67 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane. Wind pillar 21.1, safer than 21% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 0.16 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 10.2, safer than 10% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 3.2 events/century. Source: USGS ComCat (vintage: ComCat M≥6.5 1900–2025, M≥5 1973–2025); USGS Slab2 (vintage: Slab2, March 2018). Wildfire. Wildfire pillar 11.4, safer than 11% of land cells; satellite fire detections 0.017 detections/km²/yr. Source: NASA FIRMS (vintage: MODIS C6.1 2001-2024, vegetation fires, confidence >= 30); NASA FIRMS VIIRS (vintage: VIIRS NOAA-20 2020-2024, vegetation fires, nominal or high confidence); ERA5 Fire Weather Index (vintage: 1991-2020). Heat. Heat pillar 8.9, safer than 9% of land cells; days a year above thirty-five °C 147 days/year. Source: ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Coverage: Every pillar has data for this cell. 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.
