The overall score of 44 indicates a Moderate screening result. The main concern is concentrated in wildfire and earthquake, while the remaining modules provide lower supporting context.
Use this as a screening and prioritization report. Higher scores identify locations that deserve closer review; they do not prove site-specific damage, contamination, engineering failure, or legal liability.
All currently enabled location-risk modules returned usable results.The overall score of 44 indicates a Moderate screening result. The main concern is concentrated in wildfire and earthquake, while the remaining modules provide lower supporting context.
The strongest signals to review before making a location decision.
Wildfire exposure can affect defensible-space planning, insurance availability, evacuation planning, smoke exposure, and rebuild risk.
Earthquake exposure can affect structural retrofit needs, liquefaction questions, insurance decisions, and emergency planning.
Landslide context can affect slope stability review, drainage management, geotechnical diligence, and road or utility reliability.
Each module contributes to the overall score based on configured weights and data confidence.
Hydrology Risk Index: 27 (Low). Primary driver: Inside FEMA mapped flood zone X. Key amplifier: Hydrologic soil group C can increase runoff or limit infiltration.

Elevation 491 m. Terrain is gentle with rugged (confidence: high). Ponding susceptibility is low.
Nearest mapped surface water is a Stream/River — Intermittent: Honey Run at 0.19 miles. This indicates conveyance-corridor exposure and possible overflow or drainage interaction during storms. This module is a mapped hydrography exposure signal and does not imply FEMA flood zone classification. Site is +87.8 m relative to the nearest water point.
Design Rainfall Stress Index: 61 (Moderate). 100-year 24-hour rainfall is 10.74 inches. 100-year 1-hour rainfall is 1.82 inches. Primary stress driver: 24-hour rainfall accumulation.
Soil Runoff & Drainage Index: 29 (Low). Hydrologic group C; drainage class Well drained. Hydrologic group C with Well drained drainage indicates moderately high runoff potential. Ponding is not specifically indicated by the available gSSURGO attributes.
FEMA NRI Community Context: 56 (Moderate) for 002200. Flood context is Riverine: Relatively Moderate; Coastal: Not Applicable; overall community risk is Relatively Moderate. Use this as community-scale context, not a parcel flood-zone determination.
Additional sources provide context for due diligence. Confirm property-specific conditions and current local guidance; this information does not determine insurance eligibility, premiums or coverage.
The location is not within a mapped leveed area in the available data. Nearby infrastructure is listed separately; this does not establish low flood risk.
What this means: A mapped leveed area does not guarantee flood protection. Nearby infrastructure may not protect this property. Confirm current inspections, accreditation and emergency plans with the floodplain administrator; these records do not predict failure.
Historical NFIP claim records describe flood-insurance payments in the area shown below, not losses at this property.
| Year | Claim records | Recorded payments (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 11 | $786,683.96 |
| 2024 | 7 | $381,646.98 |
What this means: These regional NFIP records are not this property's claims history and exclude uninsured and private-insurance losses. Payments are recorded dollar amounts, not total damage or inflation-adjusted losses. Missing amounts are not zero; compare incomplete years cautiously.
Historical NFIP policy records describe insurance activity in the area shown below, not coverage at this property.
| Year | Policy records | Units represented |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 (partial) | 940 | 947 |
| 2025 | 1,610 | 1,617 |
| 2024 | 1,704 | 1,711 |
| 2023 | 1,746 | 1,753 |
| 2022 | 1,886 | 1,893 |
| 2021 | 2,109 | 2,116 |
What this means: Historical policy records may include renewals and policy changes, so they do not count unique properties or policies currently in force. Units represented can include multi-unit coverage. These records do not establish this property's insurance coverage.
These storm-surge planning maps do not cover this location. This does not establish an absence of coastal flooding.
What this means: These high-tide hurricane scenarios support regional planning, not a forecast, annual flood probability, surveyed property depth or FEMA Base Flood Elevation. Follow local evacuation guidance and confirm property-specific coastal exposure.
No applicable mapped area was found in the collected source. This does not establish absence of the hazard.
What this means: These earthquake-tsunami planning maps are separate from hurricane storm-surge maps. Scenarios are not forecasts or annual probabilities, and ranges are not surveyed building depths. Follow current local evacuation instructions, including when outside a mapped area.
No collected incremental USGS workunit or limitation footprint overlaps this location. Existing hydrography may still be available.
What this means: These collected workunit and elevation-source footprints describe mapping coverage, not rivers, flood zones or property flood exposure. No footprint match does not mean hydrography is absent.
The location matches the community shown below. Confirm its current flood-insurance participation and any applicable CRS discount.
| Community | FEMA community number |
|---|---|
| PARADISE, TOWN OF | 060748 |
What this means: Confirm the applicable community and current flood map with the floodplain administrator. CRS discounts depend on the policy and current community status; an unclear jurisdiction match does not establish nonparticipation.
The inventory lists nearby dams within the search radius. Distance alone does not establish whether a dam could affect this property.
| Dam | Agency reference |
|---|---|
| Kunkle | CA00344 |
| Magalia | CA00296 |
| Concow | CA00277 |
What this means: Hazard potential describes the consequences of failure, not how likely failure is. A nearby dam does not establish downstream exposure; ask local emergency management whether an inundation map covers the property.
No matching mapped geological terrain was found. This does not establish an absence of risk.
What this means: Regional mapping can identify terrain associated with subsidence, but does not establish a sinkhole or foundation problem at the property. Confirm local geology and ground conditions with a qualified professional.
Severe Weather Risk: 49 (Moderate). Primary driver is Tornado; nearby history includes 14 hail reports, 12 damaging-wind reports, and 53 tornado paths within the scoring radii.
Additional sources provide context for due diligence. Confirm property-specific conditions and current local guidance; this information does not determine insurance eligibility, premiums or coverage.
The area shown below has historical severe-weather reports. Counts describe regional records, not storms or claims at this address.
| Year / event type | Event records | Days with reported events | Reported property damage (USD) | Amount completeness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 / Hail | 1 | 1 | $0.00 | Amounts available for 1 of 1 records |
| 2023 / Thunderstorm Wind | 2 | 2 | $11,000.00 | Amounts available for 2 of 2 records |
| 2023 / Tornado | 1 | 1 | $17,000.00 | Amounts available for 1 of 1 records |
What this means: These regional records do not establish events or damage at this property. One storm may generate multiple records. Reported damage is not insured loss or complete damage, and is not inflation-adjusted. Missing amounts are not zero; compare incomplete years cautiously. Reporting coverage varies.
No mapped historical footprint was found at this location for the available period. This does not establish low risk.
What this means: A mapped footprint indicates historical coverage at this location, not building damage. Multiple mapped records may describe the same storm. No match does not establish absence of the hazard; observation coverage may be incomplete.
No mapped historical footprint was found at this location for the available period. This does not establish low risk.
What this means: A mapped footprint indicates historical coverage at this location, not building damage. Multiple mapped records may describe the same storm. No match does not establish absence of the hazard; observation coverage may be incomplete.
Wildfire Risk: 78 (High). The modeled location cell is Moderate; the primary driver is USDA modeled wildfire risk to potential structures.
Use this mapped context alongside a site inspection and current local fire guidance.
Housing in the surrounding area is adjacent to wildland vegetation (Interface).
What this means: This classification describes the surrounding census block, not conditions at the property. Vegetation and development may have changed since the source dates; confirm current conditions on site.
The estimates below describe how intense a fire could be at this location if one occurs.
What this means: These estimates describe fire intensity if a fire occurs, not the annual chance of fire or predicted damage to a building. They reflect modeled landscape conditions, not a current fire forecast.
Earthquake Risk: 71 (High). Modeled ground motion is High; the primary driver is USGS modeled ground motion.
Additional sources provide context for due diligence. Confirm property-specific conditions and current local guidance; this information does not determine insurance eligibility, premiums or coverage.
CGS identifies this location as unevaluated; absence of an investigation zone is not a low-hazard finding.
What this means: Regional mapping identifies susceptibility or investigation requirements, not liquefaction probability at a building. A site-specific geotechnical assessment is needed for design or a property decision.
The collected regional source does not cover this location.
What this means: This regional classification describes expected ground response. It is not an engineer-assigned parcel site class or a substitute for subsurface testing.
The regional model provides an estimate of local ground stiffness, not a measured condition at the property.
What this means: Vs30 describes how seismic waves travel through the upper 30 m of ground. This regional model is not a site measurement or an engineering site-class determination. Ground-motion estimates use reference ground conditions, not a property-specific soil adjustment.
Additional sources provide context for due diligence. Confirm property-specific conditions and current local guidance; this information does not determine insurance eligibility, premiums or coverage.
The location intersects a drainage basin in a published post-fire assessment. Any estimates below apply to the stated rainfall scenario, not an annual chance of damage at the property.
| Assessment and rainfall condition | Conditional likelihood | Potential sediment volume | Published hazard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camp (2018-11-08): 16 mm/h over 15 minutes | 11.41% | 6,114.87 m3 | Low |
| Camp (2018-11-08): 24 mm/h over 15 minutes | 22.11% | 8,682.64 m3 | Moderate |
| Camp (2018-11-08): 40 mm/h over 15 minutes | 57.97% | 15,139.4 m3 | Moderate |
What this means: These published assessments reflect conditions at the time of assessment; vegetation recovery and later storms can change the hazard. Basin estimates do not show downstream debris paths or damage at a building. Check current local warnings and emergency guidance.
Environmental Site Risk: 20 (Low). Primary driver is regulated facility density; nearest regulated facility is 0.14 mi, nearest cleanup site is not found within 5 miles, and TRI history shows 0 reporting facilities within 5 miles.
Additional sources provide context for due diligence. Confirm property-specific conditions and current local guidance; this information does not determine insurance eligibility, premiums or coverage.
Mapped tank-facility or release records were found within the search radius. Proximity alone does not establish contamination at the property.
| Record | Distance | Reported status | Details / agency reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Facility: skyway mart | 0.233 mi | Open UST(s) | Tanks listed: 4; In use: 4; Closed: 0; Agency reference: CA10276198 |
| Release: HASROUN PROPERTY | 0.448 mi | No further action | Agency case: CAT0600700161 |
| Release: CHEVRON SS #97126 PARADISE | 0.455 mi | No further action | Agency case: CAT0600700013 |
| Release: HONEY RUN TIRE | 0.537 mi | No further action | Agency case: CAT10000006157 |
What this means: Nearby inventory records do not establish contamination at the property. Locations and coverage may be approximate or incomplete. 'No further action' is an agency cleanup status, not proof that all contamination is absent. Verify current conditions and relevant cleanup files before making a decision.
Service-area mapping identifies possible water suppliers. Confirm household service using the water bill or utility.
| Supplier / system ID | Listed status | Service-area mapping | Water source |
|---|---|---|---|
| PARADISE IRRIGATION DISTRICT / CA0410007 | Active / Community water system | System/state service-area map; map verification incomplete | Surface water |
What this means: A mapped service area identifies a possible supplier, not confirmed service to this property. Maps may be approximate or overlap. Confirm the supplier using the water bill or utility; an absent match does not establish private-well use.
These historical monitoring results belong to a possible water supplier, not a confirmed supplier or a current test at this property.

What this means: Confirm the water supplier before applying these historical system results to the property. They are not current household tap tests or regulatory compliance findings. Not detected means below the reporting level, not zero. Concentrations use ug/L (micrograms per liter). Consult the supplier's latest Consumer Confidence Report; missing monitoring does not establish water safety.
The county's EPA radon zone provides regional testing context, not the building's indoor radon concentration.
What this means: The historical county map does not measure radon inside the building. Elevated levels can occur in every zone; test the building regardless of its county classification.

A USDA WRC modeled value integrating wildfire likelihood, intensity, and generalized consequences to a potential structure at the location cell.
CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Where available, it provides California hazard context classified as Moderate, High, or Very High.
Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity, used here for historical mapped burn perimeter context.
Mapped boundary of a historical fire event; it is exposure evidence, not a current fire footprint.
Managed area around a structure intended to reduce wildfire ignition and spread potential.
USGS National Seismic Hazard Model, used for probabilistic modeled ground-motion context.
Peak ground acceleration, expressed here as a fraction of gravity (g) for a stated return period and reference site condition.
Modeled ground-motion response at a specified structural period. It is contextual hazard evidence, not a prediction of how a particular building will perform.
A probabilistic time interval used to describe the frequency level of a modeled ground motion; it is not a schedule or earthquake prediction.
Average shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 meters used to describe the model's reference site condition. It is not a parcel soil measurement unless site-specific testing was performed.
A mapped fault with geologic evidence of movement during the Quaternary period, used as seismic-hazard context.
USGS fault classification attribute. Class A generally indicates stronger evidence for Quaternary tectonic deformation.
General movement style of a fault, such as strike-slip, normal, or reverse.
Soil behavior where saturated loose sediments can lose strength during shaking; not directly modeled by this module.
Mapped historical landslide points and polygons used for nearby event and mapped-area context.
Modeled relative tendency for landslide occurrence; not a parcel stability or slope-engineering determination.
Sampled local representation of USGS raster values used for fast lookup and regional screening context.
EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online, used for regulated facility and compliance context.
EPA Toxics Release Inventory, used for latest-year and historical release reporting context.
EPA Cleanups in My Community, used for Superfund, Brownfields, RCRA corrective action, and cleanup-site context.
What each source contributes, and where professional verification may still be required.
This report is not a boundary survey, engineering design, insurance determination, legal floodplain determination, weather or wildfire forecast, active-fire monitor, seismic engineering report, landslide hazard certification, Phase I environmental site assessment, contamination boundary map, geotechnical investigation, or substitute for local review.
Regulatory flood zone, SFHA, BFE where available.
Community participation, CRS class and discount context matched by FEMA political-area CID.
Nearby inventory structures, hazard potential, condition and record dates.
Modeled local ground conditions and uncertainty.
Historical county-level radon potential with validated county matching.
Mapped karst, pseudokarst and thermokarst geological context.
Nearest mapped hydrographic features.
Elevation, slope, local relief.
Design rainfall intensity/depth.
Soil runoff, drainage, ponding, infiltration.
Community risk, vulnerability, resilience.
Hail, damaging-wind, and tornado report/path history.
Tropical cyclone track and wind history.
Modeled annual burn probability and risk to potential structures for the location cell.
Community wildfire risk, expected annual loss, frequency, and exposure context.
Historical burn perimeter proximity and density.
California Moderate, High, and Very High fire-hazard severity-zone context where mapped.
Modeled peak ground acceleration and spectral acceleration at selected return periods.
Community earthquake risk, expected annual loss, frequency, and exposure context.
Mapped fault proximity, density, age, class, slip sense, and certainty context.
Community landslide risk, expected annual loss, frequency, and exposure context.
Historical mapped landslide points and polygons.
Sampled modeled susceptibility grid.
ECHO, FRS, RCRAInfo, TRI, and CIMC facility/cleanup records.
