FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across its county, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
