HazardAware is brought to you in partnership with the following data sources...
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has goals to address the increasing range and complexity of disasters, support the diversity of communities we serve, and complement the nation’s growing expectations of the emergency management community.
SHELDUS™ is a county-level hazard data set for the U.S. and covers natural hazards such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and tornados as well as perils such as flash floods, heavy rainfall, etc.
The Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI®) measures the social vulnerability of places (counties/tracts) to environmental hazards. It shows where there is uneven capacity for preparedness and response and where resources might be used most effectively to reduce the pre-existing vulnerability.
