The overall score of 45 indicates a Moderate screening result. The main concern is concentrated in severe weather and environmental site, 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.

The strongest signals to review before making a location decision.
Severe storm history can affect roof, envelope, vehicle, crop, utility, and business-interruption exposure.
Environmental site signals can affect transaction diligence, lender review, redevelopment planning, agency-file review, and liability questions.
Wildfire exposure can affect defensible-space planning, insurance availability, evacuation planning, smoke exposure, and rebuild risk.
Each module contributes to the overall score based on configured weights and data confidence.
Hydrology Risk Index: 29 (Low). Primary driver: NOAA 100-year 24-hour rainfall is 10.2 in, indicating elevated storm-load stress. Key amplifier: Near mapped surface water (0.07 mi). Key dampener: Positive freeboard margin (+29.0 ft above BFE).
Severe Weather Risk: 88 (Very High). Primary driver is Tornado; nearby history includes 527 hail reports, 588 damaging-wind reports, and 492 tornado paths within the scoring radii.
Wildfire Risk: 33 (Low). Primary driver is Historical burn perimeter proximity; FEMA NRI rating is No Rating, and nearest MTBS perimeter is 9.5 miles away.
Earthquake Risk: 24 (Low). Primary driver is FEMA NRI earthquake context; FEMA NRI rating is Very Low, and no mapped Quaternary fault found in the nearest-fault context.
Landslide Risk: 4 (Very Low). Primary driver is Mapped landslide proximity; FEMA NRI rating is No Rating, susceptibility is Very Low, and nearest mapped landslide inventory feature is 24.0 miles away.
Environmental Site Risk: 66 (High). Primary driver is nearby cleanup sites; nearest regulated facility is 0.07 mi, nearest cleanup site is 0.06 mi, and TRI history shows 40 reporting facilities within 5 miles.
Fast scan of the diligence checks suggested by the strongest location signals.
Environmental scored 66/100; nearest cleanup site is 0.06 mi and TRI history has 364 facility-years within 5 miles.
Severe Weather scored 88/100 with Tornado as the primary driver.
Hydrology Risk Index: 29 (Low). Primary driver: NOAA 100-year 24-hour rainfall is 10.2 in, indicating elevated storm-load stress. Key amplifier: Near mapped surface water (0.07 mi). Key dampener: Positive freeboard margin (+29.0 ft above BFE).
Confidence: FEMA confidence: High. Inside a FEMA flood polygon at this coordinate. BFE is not expected for this FEMA zone. Water confidence: High. Nearest NHD feature found and distance computed. Terrain confidence: High. Rainfall confidence: High. Soil confidence: High. NRI confidence: High.
Inside FEMA zone X (outside SFHA). Review local flood conditions, insurance needs, and elevation context carefully. Freeboard: +29.0 ft vs BFE.
Elevation 32 m. Terrain is steep with rolling (confidence: high). Ponding susceptibility is low.
Nearest mapped surface water is a Reservoir: Unnamed Reservoir at 0.07 miles. This indicates shoreline/storage-water context rather than direct channel conveyance. This module is a mapped hydrography exposure signal and does not imply FEMA flood zone classification. Site is -0.3 m relative to the nearest water point.
Design Rainfall Stress Index: 85 (Very High). 100-year 24-hour rainfall is 10.15 inches. 100-year 1-hour rainfall is 3.93 inches. Primary stress driver: 24-hour rainfall accumulation.
Soil Runoff & Drainage Index: 44 (Low). Hydrologic group B; drainage class Somewhat poorly drained. Hydrologic group B generally indicates moderate infiltration; drainage class still matters for ponding behavior. Ponding class is unavailable, but poor drainage suggests slow water removal after storms.
FEMA NRI Community Context: 61 (Moderate) for 018902. Flood context is Riverine: Relatively Moderate; Coastal: No Rating; overall community risk is Relatively Moderate. Use this as community-scale context, not a parcel flood-zone determination.
Severe Weather Risk: 88 (Very High). Primary driver is Tornado; nearby history includes 527 hail reports, 588 damaging-wind reports, and 492 tornado paths within the scoring radii.
Wildfire Risk: 33 (Low). Primary driver is Historical burn perimeter proximity; FEMA NRI rating is No Rating, and nearest MTBS perimeter is 9.5 miles away.
Earthquake Risk: 24 (Low). Primary driver is FEMA NRI earthquake context; FEMA NRI rating is Very Low, and no mapped Quaternary fault found in the nearest-fault context.
Environmental Site Risk: 66 (High). Primary driver is nearby cleanup sites; nearest regulated facility is 0.07 mi, nearest cleanup site is 0.06 mi, and TRI history shows 40 reporting facilities within 5 miles.

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.
