About AGS: Environment

Many businesses and homes are subject to severe loss because of natural hazards. Using historical records of various weather, earthquake, hurricane, hail, fire, and damaging wind risks, these databases provide risk assessment staff with accurate and detailed indexes of relative risk for each hazard type.

The Environmental database provides details to the block group level. A wide range of applications benefit from these databases, including insurance underwriting, retail merchandising, and real estate. Included are climatological averages of temperature and precipitation, and degree day calculations useful for analyzing domestic energy usage. The databases consist of several separate database components, which include:

• Temperature
• Precipitation
• Degree Days
• Air Quality
• Weather Risk
• Hurricane Risk
• Tornado Risk
• Damaging Wind Risk
• Wildfire Risk
