This cell's combined hazard score is 37.2; its strongest pillar is heat at 55.8 and its weakest is coast at 6.0. Flood. Flood pillar 48.6, safer than 24% of land cells and level with 49%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0 m.

Wind pillar 7.6, safer than 8% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 2.3 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 32.1, safer than 11% of land cells and level with 42%; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 2.4 events/century.

Coast pillar 6.0, safer than 6% of land cells; five-hundred-year tsunami run-up on the nearest coast 0.64 m. Source: Global Tsunami Model (vintage: 2017, earthquake sources only). Heat. Heat pillar 55.8, safer than 55% of land cells and level with 2%; days a year above thirty-five °C 0.033 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, 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.
