Yangon compared with all land on Earth

The area around Yangon scores 20 of 100 today: lower combined natural hazard than 20% 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 11 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 19.5; its strongest pillar is ground at 76.9 and its weakest is flood at 1.3. Flood. Flood pillar 1.3, safer than 1% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.60 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Hurricane. Wind pillar 7.7, safer than 8% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 0.66 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 5.0, safer than 5% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 1.6 events/century. Source: USGS ComCat (vintage: ComCat M≥6.5 1900–2025, M≥5 1973–2025); USGS Slab2 (vintage: Slab2, March 2018). Ground. Ground pillar 76.9, safer than 77% of land cells; landslide susceptibility class 1.1 class (1–5). Source: NASA landslide susceptibility (vintage: 2023 update); NOAA NCEI volcanoes (vintage: NCEI HazEL, accessed 2026). 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, 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.
