The area around Florence 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 36 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 40.9; its strongest pillar is ground at 82.9 and its weakest is heat at 11.7. Flood. Flood pillar 29.2, safer than 29% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 1.3 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Tornado. Wind pillar 22.4, safer than 22% of land cells; tornado touchdowns nearby 3.7 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane. Wind pillar 22.4, safer than 22% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 0.16 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. Source: USGS ComCat (vintage: ComCat M≥6.5 1900–2025, M≥5 1973–2025); USGS Slab2 (vintage: Slab2, March 2018). Ground. Ground pillar 82.9, safer than 83% of land cells; landslide susceptibility class 1.0 class (1–5). Source: NASA landslide susceptibility (vintage: 2023 update); NOAA NCEI volcanoes (vintage: NCEI HazEL, accessed 2026). Heat. Heat pillar 11.7, safer than 12% of land cells; days a year above thirty-five °C 137 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, 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.
