Type your address (or just your town) into the ClimateCheck website,
and you’ll instantly see a snapshot of your home’s climate risk across
five areas: storms, temperature, drought, fire, and flood.
Each of the five risks are rated between zero to 100, based on climate
models from agencies including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, FEMA, the
U.S. Forest Service, and others. Academic experts then localize that
data to make it relevant for a specific region. The site explains what
you usually experience in a year for that category: how much land
within a certain mile radius usually burns around your home’s
location, or how many significant storms you see a year, and how much
precipitation those storms usually drop.
Just mouse over each category for more detail. Currently they are also
offering free access to your full report.
