Catastrophe Hazard Reports

Catastrophe Hazard Reports provide information on five primary perils: hurricanes, earthquakes, severe thunderstorms, winter storms, and floods. The reports also provide information on potential terrorist targets. The data is derived from ISO’s subsidiary AIR Worldwide — a leading source of information on catastrophe risks.

The reports provide earthquake, severe thunderstorm, winter storm, flood, and terrorism catastrophe data for the 48 contiguous states. The reports also provide hurricane catastrophe data for the following states, which are at risk from hurricanes:

Alabama	Kentucky	New Hampshire	Pennsylvania	Virginia
Arkansas	Louisiana	New Jersey	Rhode Island	Washington, D.C.
Connecticut	Maine	New York	South Carolina	West Virginia
Delaware	Maryland	North Carolina	Tennessee
Florida	Massachusetts	Ohio	Texas
Georgia	Mississippi	Oklahoma	Vermont

Using the AIR data, the Catastrophe Hazard service determines the risk associated with a given location. You can use it to determine the following details:

Hurricane

long-term average annual, 100-year, and 250-year loss-level information
storm surge potential
scores that show the risk at each location and the relative risk compared with other locations in the county and state
physical characteristics of the risk location, including elevation and terrain
Florida wind loss mitigation information

Earthquake

long-term average annual, 100-year, and 250-year loss-level information
scores that show the risk at each location and the relative risk compared with other locations in the county and state
physical properties at the given location, for example, landslide/liquefaction potential and soil type
intensity by 100-year return period
earthquake fault zone (Alquist-Priolo)
distance to closest significant fault

Severe Thunderstorm

long-term average annual, 100-year, and 250-year loss-level information
scores that show the risk at each location and the relative risk compared with other locations in the county and state
tornado, hail storm, and straight-line wind storm frequencies

Winter Storm

long-term average annual, 100-year, and 250-year loss-level information
scores that show the risk at each location and the relative risk compared with other locations in the county and state
snow and wind frequency

Flood

flood zone information
elevation

Terrorism

distance to nearest target
target type
