This map depicts three distinct types of Geologic Hazards. Earthquake Hazards shows the two most likely earthquake scenarios for our area -- Cascadia Subduction Zone M9.0 and Portland Hills Fault M6.8 earthquakes, Perceived Shaking and Damage Potential, from DOGAMI OFR-18-02. Steep Slopes are polygons representing slopes greater than or equal to 20% in the Portland Bureau of Environmental Services topographic watershed boundary area. Derived from 2014, reclassified, 1' resolution LiDAR bare-earth digital elevation model (DEM). All slopes average over a horizontal distance of 15'. Minimum area of contiguous slope is approximately 1/2 acre. Polygons were created, generalized and smoothed in ArcGIS 10.3.1 and ArcGIS Pro. DOGAMI Landslide Inventory consists of polygons delineating landslide deposits (including debris flow fans and talus extent), from DOGAMI IMS-57.

The Housing Health Cost Calculator (HHCC) calculates a hazard rating score for the defects (hazards) in a dwelling and their effect on the occupiers and visitors.
This Landslides data contains point and other attributes for historic and recent landslide locations in New Jersey mapped by the New Jersey Geological Survey (NJGS). The landslides have occurred in many parts of the state and include slumps, debris flows, rockfalls and rockslides. Landslides in New Jersey are a geologic hazard in areas with steep to moderate slopes or geologic units prone to failure. They cause damage to utilities, property, and transportation routes. The average annual direct and indirect cost of New Jersey landslides is likely in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. New Jersey landslides have also caused fatalities and injuries. The landslides are caused by heavy rains, weathering, ocean waves, quarrying and construction activities.
A collection of shapefiles created and compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The data is intended to help people understand and predict weather patterns - in particular to plan for potentially dangerous weather conditions such as storms and droughts.
The digital maps presented here were originally published as hard copy maps in the Coastal Zone Atlas of Washington between 1978 and 1980. Although the Atlas has been out of print for many years, the maps contain information that remain the basis for local planning decisions. After receiving multiple requests for electronic versions of portions of the Atlas, an effort was made to scan, georeference and digitize aspects of the Atlas, beginning with the slope stability maps. These maps indicate the relative stability of coastal slopes as interpreted by geologists based on aerial photographs, geological mapping, topography, and field observations. Such methods are standard, but may occasionally result in some unstable areas being overlooked and in some stable areas being incorrectly identified as unstable. Further inaccuracies are introduced to the data through the process of converting the published maps into digital format. Important land use or building decisions should always be based on detailed geotechnical investigations. This mapping represents conditions observed in the early and mid-1970s. Shorelines and steep slopes are dynamic areas and many landslides have occurred since that time that are not reflected on these maps. Subsequent human activities may have increased or decreased the stability of some areas.
The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Chemical Hazard Information Profiles (TRI-CHIP) dataset contains hazard information about the chemicals reported in TRI. Users can use this XML-format dataset to create their own databases and hazard analyses of TRI chemicals. The hazard information is compiled from a series of authoritative sources including the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). The dataset is provided as a downloadable .zip file that when extracted provides XML files and schemas for the hazard information tables.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) produces Flood Insurance Rate maps and identifies Special Flood Hazard Areas as part of the National Flood Insurance Program's floodplain management. Special Flood Hazard Areas have regulations that include the mandatory purchase of flood insurance.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Flood Hazard AreasCoordinate System: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereExtent: Contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Marianas Islands and American Samoa.Visible Scale: The layer is limited to scales of 1:1,000,000 and larger. Use the USA Flood Hazard Areas imagery layer for smaller scales.Source: Federal Emergency Management AgencyPublication Date: October 5, 2022This layer is derived from the October 5, 2022 version of the National Flood Hazard Layer feature class S_Fld_Haz_Ar. The data were aggregated into eight classes to produce the Esri Symbology field based on symbology provided by FEMA. All other layer attributes are derived from the National Flood Hazard Layer. The layer was projected to Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere, then the repair geometry geoprocessing tool was run on it. Its resolution was set to 0.0001 meter.To improve performance Flood Zone values "Area Not Included", "Open Water", "D", "NP", and No Data were removed from the layer. Areas with Flood Zone value "X" subtype "Area of Minimal Flood Hazard" were also removed. An imagery layer created from this dataset provides access to the full set of records in the National Flood Hazard Layer.A web map featuring this layer is available for you to use.What can you do with this Feature Layer?Feature layers work throughout the ArcGIS system. Generally your work flow with feature layers will begin in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Pro. Below are just a few of the things you can do with a feature service in Online and Pro.ArcGIS OnlineAdd this layer to a map in the map viewer. The layer is limited to scales of approximately 1:1,000,000 or larger but an imagery layer created from the same data can be used at smaller scales to produce a webmap that displays across the full range of scales. The layer or a map containing it can be used in an application.Change the layer’s transparency and set its visibility rangeOpen the layer’s attribute table and make selections and apply filters. Selections made in the map or table are reflected in the other. Center on selection allows you to zoom to features selected in the map or table and show selected records allows you to view the selected records in the table.Change the layer’s style and filter the data. For example, you could change the symbology field to Special Flood Hazard Area and set a filter for = “T” to create a map of only the special flood hazard areas.

This is the current induced seismicity mitigation plan (ISMP) for the Utah FORGE project. Information that was collected during Phases 1 and 2 of the Utah FORGE project has been incorporated, as have literature searches and risk assessments. The purpose of this report is to identify and mitigate induced seismicity for the Utah FORGE Project. Mitigation includes preliminary screening, outreach, criteria for ground vibration and noise, data collection practices, and natural seismic hazard analysis. From this, the overall risk from the project was determined. This report is subject to change as new information comes to light.
Wildfire hazard potential (WHP) is an index that depicts the relative potential for wildfire that would be difficult for suppression resources to contain, based on wildfire simulation modeling. This dataset produced by the USDA Forest Service, Fire Modeling Institute in 2020 shows WHP at a spatial resolution of 270 meters across the entire conterminous United States, classified into five WHP classes of very low, low, moderate, high, and very high. Areas mapped with higher WHP values represent fuels with a higher probability of experiencing torching, crowning, and other forms of extreme fire behavior under conducive weather conditions, based primarily on 2014 landscape conditions. This WHP dataset is based on outputs of wildfire simulation modeling published in 2020.Starting with the 2020 version, the WHP dataset is integrated with the Wildfire Risk to Communities project. The 2020 dataset is the first version to include Alaska and Hawaii. There is a spatially-refined, 30-m resolution version of the WHP as part of the downloadable Wildfire Risk to Communities data, and related datasets that depict other components of wildfire hazard and risk to homes.This 2020 version supersedes all previous versions of Wildfire Hazard Potential (2018, 2014) or Wildland Fire Potential (2012, 2010, 2007). We generally do not advise direct comparisons between versions because changes can reflect improvements in methodology at all stages of the WHP calculation in addition to actual land cover changes.For more information and to download the raster data, please visit the Wildfire Hazard Potential website.Map author: Greg Dillon, USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Fire Modeling Institute
ORS 93.270(4) enacted by the 1993 legislature and changes to Oregon's Building Code encourage local governments to voluntarily designate those portions of their jurisdictions subject to catastrophic fire as Wildfire Hazard Zones. The purpose of these zones is to define those areas where buildings need to be made more survivable from fires spreading through adjacent wildlands.This analysis and map are designed to address the statute and identify areas which are Wildfire Hazard Zones within the City of Portland.
