More Details Disaster Risks
Disaster Risk is high for Meadow Glade. The most significant environmental threat for this location is Earthquake, with a high risk score of 55.
Hide detailsFlood Risk
48% Moderate risk
There’s a Moderate Flood Risk score for Meadow Glade, where the FEMA floodzone is X. This area is not flooded by the 100-year flood event but it is at risk from the 500-year flood event. Insurance is NOT MANDATORY.
Methodology
The Augurisk Coastal Flooding Hazard index is based on three key components: the mean elevation of your block, the expected sea level rise in your area, and your exposure to hurricanes.Note that storm surge is currently not explicitly described by the Augurisk coastal flooding hazard index. Depending on your location, storm surge can increase the water level by considerable amounts.During Hurricane Katrina, the sea level increased by up to 28 feet locally (NOAA). If you live along the coastline, it is strongly advised to follow official announcements in your area.

Wildfire Risk
30% Moderate risk
Meadow Glade faces a Moderate Wildfire Risk.
Methodology
The Augurisk Wildfire Hazard index is defined at the U.S. Census block level. It is based on the potential for wildfire burning in your block - based on data from Dillon et al. (2015, 2018) - and the impact of climate change on the potential for wildfire in the United States, particularly in the West (Abatzoglu and Williams, 2016). Therefore, the average temperature change in summer between the 1980-2005 and 2006-2100 has been extracted from two selected Regional Climate Models (RCMs) from the NA-CORDEX project (Mearns et al.,2017) and taken into account in defining the hazard score. The scenario considered is RCP4.5. All index values are normalized to a 0-100 scale..

Storm Risk
11% Very low risk
Meadow Glade has a very low Storm Events risk score.
Methodology
The Augurisk Storm Events Hazard index is defined at the U.S. Census county level. It is based on individual subscores related to tornadoes, hail, snow, tropical and extratropical storms, and blizzard. Each subscore is calculated by considering the past frequency and intensity of an event type in your area. In the case of hurricanes, the historical period was shortened to reflect shifting climate patterns in the recent decades. Different scores are available depending on the chosen threshold parameters. Each score is normalized between 0 and 100, and the global storm event score weighs each subscore by considering its annual damage on the U.S. economy.

Earthquake Risk
55% High risk
Such an earthquake is light. It is felt indoors by many, outdoors by few during the day. At night, some awaken. Dishes, windows, doors are disturbed; walls make cracking sounds. A sensation like a heavy truck is striking the building can be felt. Standing motor cars rock noticeably.
Methodology
The Augurisk Earthquake Hazard index is defined at the U.S. Census block level. It is based on the intensity of the earthquake happening in your block with a 2% probability over the next 50 years, and computed using data from USGS (Rukstales and Petersen, 2019). Intensity is defined based on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale (MMI). All scores are normalized to a 0-100 scale.

Methodology
The Augurisk Crime score is defined at the Census Block Group, by taking into account yearly violent and property crimes rates per 1000 inhabitants, predicted by our machine learning algorithm between 2015 and 2019. In order to predict crime occurrences where data is unavailable, our algorithm uses over 200 socio-economic, demographic, climatic, spatial, and law enforcement predictors selected based on various insights, from multidisciplinary literature review to correlation analysis and feature engineering. The predicting model is based on and has been tested against historical high-resolution crime data collected by the Open Crime Database for around 15 cities in the US with up to 79% accuracy.

Meadow Glade Crime Risk Rankings
Societal Risks
Societal risk is moderate for Meadow Glade. The most significant societal threat for this property is Air Pollution, with a high risk score of 59.
Hide detailsAir Pollution Hazard
59% High risk
The Air Pollution Hazard Score is high (58.65) for the closest AQI monitor (Vancouver-NE 84th Ave), located 7.58 miles away from Meadow Glade.
The maximum recorded AQI over the last 3 years is Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (109).
Methodology
The Augurisk Air Pollution hazard score is defined at the U.S. block level. It is based on the daily median and maximal air quality values recorded at the nearest U.S. EPA AQI monitor over the last 3 years. All values are normalized to a 0-100 scale. To avoid disturbances in the distribution of risk scores, specific transformations to the higher percentiles of selected variables (i.e. winsorization) were applied to the maximal recorded AQI variable.

AQI data was collected from the U.S. EPA AirNow program. Map data is provided by Air Now Current Monitor Data Public on ESRI. More information on the U.S. AQI computation and interpretation can be found on the AirNow website.
