CLIMATE & HAZARDS

A robust view of climate risk and environmental hazards.

The Climate & Hazards foundation is a curated collection of state-of-the-practice data and models that present in-depth insight into current and future hazard risks and the people, places, and infrastructure impacted by climate and environmental hazards. The metrics available in this Data Foundation serve as the critical components for building Resilience Insights.

Data categories & pre-computed metrics

Ready-to-use datasets and metrics let you spend less time curating and cleaning data and more time focused on making critical decisions.

Climate & Environmental Hazards

Robust hazard risk and exposure metrics for flooding, storm surge, wildfire, high wind, drought, extreme precipitation, extreme temperatures, sea level rise, and earthquakes

Hazard Frequency & Severity Models

Advanced modeling delivers visibility into current and future frequency and severity of hazard risks to support proactive planning and risk assessment over short and long-term horizons

Loss & Cost Damage Functions

Quantified hazard impacts to estimate property damage and potential losses across every parcel in the U.S.

The insight engine

Across industries, we turn siloed data into holistic insights

The best raw data sourced and organized

The Climate & Hazards Foundation brings together and organizes a complete catalog of the latest public and commercially-sourced data for all major hazard types

Normalized and aligned for effective data layering

All datasets are rigorously cleaned and aligned across all 160 million parcels in the UrbanFootprint Base Canvas to power mapping and multidimensional risk analysis at any scale

Processed and modeled for purpose-built solutions

Advanced geospatial processing and modeling of current and future hazard risks allows for straightforward quantification of land use, community, and financial impacts of climate scenarios and environmental hazards

Resilience Insights

Building Resilience Insights

Resilience Insights intersect specifically curated data metrics and models from the Data Foundations to drive more effective investment prioritization, quantified risk and vulnerability assessments, and optimized site selection and infrastructure investments.
