Florida Hurricane Hazard Profile

Hazard Data · Model Version 2.5

Overview

Florida's peninsular geography and position on the Atlantic hurricane track make it the most hurricane-exposed state in the United States. IBTrACS data (1851-present) shows Florida has the highest frequency of landfalling hurricanes of any US state. The NOAA National Hurricane Center, headquartered in Miami, identifies the Florida coastline as exposed to both Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico tropical cyclone tracks.

Hazard Scoring Approach

Calchis computes a Calchis Hazard Score (0–10) for hurricane hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and published research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.

These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
