This information is specific to each watershed, or drainage basin, and takes into account both the projected supply of water, projected demand due to population growth and water use, and features of the watershed, such as soil properties and land cover. An extremely wet event for your area experiences an amount of precipitation over 48 hours that normally happens only 8 times during the 1981-2005 baseline period.ĭrought risk is based on water supply stress, which estimates how much of the available water in a location will be used by human activity, like watering the lawn. Your storm risk rating is based on both of these dynamics: the typical number of extremely wet or snowy events and the amount of rain or snow that will fall during those storms. Ratings are based on projected 2050 risk and the change from historical risk.Ī rating of 1 represents the lowest risk 100 is the highest.Ĭlimate models project that both the frequency and amount of precipitation are likely to increase throughout most of the US.

ClimateCheck® ratings reflect hazard risk at a property relative to the rest of the contiguous United States.
