This cell's combined hazard score is 33.1; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 96.1 and its weakest is coast at 0.5. Flood. Flood pillar 12.2, safer than 12% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.74 m.

Coast pillar 0.5, safer than 0% of land cells and level with 1%; five-hundred-year tsunami run-up on the nearest coast 11.9 m. Source: Global Tsunami Model (vintage: 2017, earthquake sources only). Climate velocity. Climate velocity pillar 96.1, safer than 96% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.13 °C/decade. Source: NASA GISTEMP (vintage: 2024). 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.
