Recommended Mitigation Strategies
Recommended investments to protect your property value and reduce insurance liability based on your local risk profile.
Strong Wind Mitigation
Trim large trees back from the roofline and reinforce roof-to-wall connectors (hurricane straps).

Replace roof with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles to significantly lower insurance premiums.
Lightning Mitigation
General property maintenance and insurance review recommended.
Winter Weather Mitigation
General property maintenance and insurance review recommended.
Drought Mitigation
General property maintenance and insurance review recommended.
Wildfire Mitigation
Create a 5ft 'non-combustible' zone around your home using gravel or pavers instead of mulch.
Landslide Mitigation
Professional slope stabilization and foundation drainage inspection is highly recommended.
Sources and Methodology
Spatial Climate Risk Modeling
The Expected Annual Loss (EAL) and hazard risk scores are derived from the FEMA NRI zip code dataset using a population-weighted spatial join. Because Zip Codes and Census Tracts do not share perfectly aligned boundaries, we utilize US Census Block Group population centroids to identify where residents actually live.
Financial & Insurance Metrics
The pysical resilence score is calculated by synthesizing Expected Annual Loss (EAL) against the total building replacement value within a jurisdiction. This creates a "Loss Ratio" that measures physical resilience. We supplement this with ZIP-code level data from the U.S. Treasury's Federal Insurance Office (FIO), monitoring trends in premium growth, loss ratios, and policy non-renewals to identify emerging "Insurance Deserts."
