Our Mission
Data for a changing landscape.
The Climate Risk Atlas aims to inform and empower individuals and communities about the risks posed by accelerating climate change and the strategies to mitigate those risks.
Identify
We bring together high-quality, trustworthy data from government, public, and proprietary sources for cities, counties, and zip codes.
Quantify
By analyzing Expected Annual Loss (EAL) and insurance market stability, we translate abstract climate shifts into tangible financial metrics.
Fortify
Our goal is to inform decision-making around where to live, where to invest, and how to protect the places we call home.
The Project
The Climate Risk Atlas is a data project born from the intersection of urban planning and software development.
In an era where climate volatility is no longer a future projection but a present reality, the tools we use to understand our surroundings must evolve. This atlas was built to bridge the gap between complex geospatial climate modeling and actionable intelligence for the everyday citizen.
By synthesizing disaster risk data with insurance market metrics, we provide a comprehensive look at the physical and financial longevity of American communities.
Methodology & Transparency
Our analysis utilizes data from the National Risk Index, FEMA, and specialized insurance market datasets. We believe that climate data should be accessible, transparent, and granular enough to matter at the neighborhood level.
