SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test
Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 30 of 100.
This cell's combined hazard score is 33.2; its strongest pillar is wildfire at 53.0 and its weakest is wind at 6.1. Flood. Flood pillar 19.5, safer than 3% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 2.5 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Wind. Wind pillar 6.1, safer than 6% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 2.6 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 48.8, safer than 17% of land cells and level with 64%; 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). Wildfire. Wildfire pillar 53.0, safer than 53% of land cells; satellite fire detections 0.0046 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). 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.
