The area around Lodwar scores 36 of 100 today: lower combined natural hazard than 36% 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 33 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 35.9; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 66.5 and its weakest is heat at 2.5. Flood. Flood pillar 34.9, safer than 35% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.76 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Hurricane. Wind pillar 63.7, safer than 27% of land cells and level with 73%; tropical storm passes nearby 0 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 23.4, safer than 23% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 0 events/century.

Climate velocity pillar 66.5, safer than 66% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.26 °C/decade. Source: NASA GISTEMP (vintage: 2024). Heat. Heat pillar 2.5, safer than 2% of land cells; days a year above thirty-five °C 176 days/year. Source: ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Coverage: 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, 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.
