This cell's combined hazard score is 42.3; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 81.3 and its weakest is wind at 4.4. Flood. Flood pillar 29.8, safer than 14% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.89 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Wind. Wind pillar 4.4, safer than 4% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 5.6 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01); NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 59.1, safer than 18% of land cells and level with 82%; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 0 events/century.

Wildfire pillar 30.7, safer than 31% of land cells; satellite fire detections 0.033 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). Climate velocity. Climate velocity pillar 81.3, safer than 81% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.21 °C/decade. Source: NASA GISTEMP (vintage: 2024). Coverage: No coast data exists for this cell, so it is left out of the combined score and the remaining pillar weights are renormalized. 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.
