This cell's combined hazard score is 43.1; its strongest pillar is ground at 94.9 and its weakest is flood at 0.9. Flood. Flood pillar 0.9, safer than 1% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 1.5 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Tornado. Wind pillar 6.5, safer than 6% of land cells; tornado touchdowns nearby 7.7 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane. Wind pillar 6.5, safer than 6% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 2.6 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.

Ground pillar 94.9, safer than 90% of land cells and level with 10%; landslide susceptibility class 1.0 class (1–5).

Coverage: No coast data exists for this cell, so it is left out of the combined score and the remaining pillar weights are renormalized. 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.
