Resilience Insights

Climate Scenarios for Extreme Temperature and Precipitation provide historical summaries and predictions of future climate conditions based on two levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: RCP4.5 (low emissions) and RCP8.5 (high emissions).

The FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) indicates areas with a 1% chance of flooding each year, referred to as the 100-year floodplain.

The NOAA Sea Level Rise Inundation model depicts coastal areas' potential inundation (or flooding) resulting from a projected 1-10 feet sea level rise above current Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) conditions.

UrbanFootprint Coastal Flood uniquely estimates both present and future coastal flood risk for the contiguous United States (CONUS). This dataset accounts for the variability inherent in environmental factors, and the future scenario is calibrated to account for sea level rise adjustments.

UrbanFootprint Drought calculates a bias-corrected future drought using CMIP6 data compared with the historical simulation and applies that change to the current risk.

UrbanFootprint Earthquakes produces a single, enhanced seismic hazard map for CONUS that accounts for variability in Vs30.

UrbanFootprint Hurricane Winds contains the 1-minute sustained wind exceedance rate in annual wind events. We use this dataset as a general indicator of exposure to various wind speeds.

UrbanFootprint Inland Flood combines FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Estimated Floodplain Map of the Conterminous U.S. to provide complete CONUS coverage and substantial improvements over FEMA alone. 

UrbanFootprint Strong Winds identifies the maximum annual wind you'll likely experience at any location in the continental United States.

UrbanFootprint Tornado Winds enables you to assess localized tornado wind risk across the United States for all tornado magnitudes on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale on an H3 zoom level 4 grid.

UrbanFootprint Wildfire provides the annual wildfire risk based on the burn probability from Wildfire Risk to Communities is a vetted national wildfire risk dataset with several layers that provide different wildfire metrics. Our dataset includes burn probability (BP) and the risk to potential structures (RPS).Wildfire
