The overall score of 60 indicates a High screening result, but one severe signal deserves extra attention. Wildfire is the standout concern, while earthquake adds enough supporting risk to keep the location from reading as a routine average.
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 60 indicates a High screening result, but one severe signal deserves extra attention. Wildfire is the standout concern, while earthquake adds enough supporting risk to keep the location from reading as a routine average.
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: 20 (Very Low). Primary driver: Inside FEMA mapped flood zone X. Key amplifier: Hydrologic soil group C can increase runoff or limit infiltration. Key dampener: Steeper terrain (90.0°) supports runoff over ponding. Confidence note: No best-available BFE was found.
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.
Wildfire Risk: 99 (Very High). Primary driver is FEMA NRI wildfire context; FEMA NRI rating is Relatively High, and nearest MTBS perimeter is 0.0 miles away.
Earthquake Risk: 76 (High). Primary driver is FEMA NRI earthquake context; FEMA NRI rating is Relatively Moderate, and nearest mapped Quaternary fault is 5.8 miles away.
Landslide Risk: 51 (Moderate). Primary driver is FEMA NRI landslide context; FEMA NRI rating is Relatively Moderate, susceptibility is Very Low, and nearest mapped landslide inventory feature is 2.5 miles away.

The Overall Location Risk score combines enabled modules into a 0-100 screening result.
Confidence explains whether the result is based on direct local data, fallback evidence, or broader context.
Module rows show weighted contribution and the evidence behind the score, not only raw dataset values.
Recommendations translate the evidence into practical next actions for due diligence, design, or operations.

Direct local dataset match and key attributes were available.
Usable result with fallback, partial attributes, broader context, or one unavailable module.
Missing coverage, nearest-only interpretation, or insufficient source attributes.
Scores are screening signals assembled from source evidence, confidence, and configured module weights.
Direct coverage and key attributes were found for the coordinate.
The result is usable but depends on fallback, partial attributes, or supporting context.
Coverage is missing, indirect, incomplete, or unsuitable for strong conclusions.
Nearest FEMA polygons, missing BFE, unavailable DEM/rainfall cells, county-level NRI fallback, or unavailable modules can reduce confidence.
Hydrology remains water/flood-specific. Other modules are scored separately, then combined only in the Overall Location Risk score.
