- / It represents the "average cost" rather than a guaranteed yearly bill.
- / It can be used to compare the relative risk from different hazards and across different neighborhoods.

Recommended Mitigation Strategies
Recommended investments to protect your property value and reduce insurance liability based on your local risk profile.
Ice Storm Mitigation
Install a 10kWh backup battery system to keep pipes from freezing during grid failure.
Strong Wind Mitigation
Trim large trees back from the roofline and reinforce roof-to-wall connectors (hurricane straps).
Tornado Mitigation
Reinforce garage doors and consider a FEMA-approved safe room or storm cellar.
Wildfire Mitigation
Create a 5ft 'non-combustible' zone around your home using gravel or pavers instead of mulch.
Hail Mitigation
Replace roof with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles to significantly lower insurance premiums.
Winter Weather Mitigation
General property maintenance and insurance review recommended.
Drought Mitigation
General property maintenance and insurance review recommended.
Methodology and Sources
Spatial Aggregation
Our "Atlas" risk scores are derived using a population-weighted spatial join. Because US Zip Codes and Census Tracts do not share perfectly aligned boundaries, a simple geographic average would be misleading. We utilize US Census Block Group population statistics to identify where residents actually live within a Zip Code. We then intersect these points with FEMA National Risk Index (NRI) hazard data to calculate a weighted exposure score.
Financial Projections (EAL)
Expected Annual Loss (EAL) estimates the average economic impact of natural hazards in dollars per year. This calculation incorporates three components: Exposure (the value of structures and agriculture), Annualized Frequency (historical probability), and Historic Loss Ratio (vulnerability of the area).
