This cell's combined hazard score is 29.1; its strongest pillar is heat at 60.5 and its weakest is ground at 2.6. Flood. Flood pillar 30.3, safer than 14% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.61 m.

Wind pillar 12.0, safer than 11% of land cells and level with 1%; tropical storm passes nearby 0.33 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 3.7, safer than 4% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 6.3 events/century.

Ground pillar 2.6, safer than 3% of land cells; landslide susceptibility class 3.9 class (1–5). Source: NASA landslide susceptibility (vintage: 2023 update); NOAA NCEI volcanoes (vintage: NCEI HazEL, accessed 2026). Heat. Heat pillar 60.5, safer than 48% of land cells and level with 25%; days a year above thirty-five °C 2.2 days/year. Source: ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Coverage: No coast data exists for this cell, so it is left out of the combined score and the remaining pillar weights are renormalized. 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, a research estimate, 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.
