Georgia Hurricane Hazard Profile

Hazard Data · Model Version 2.5

Overview

Georgia's Atlantic coastline is shorter than neighboring states but the coastal counties (Chatham/Savannah, Glynn/Brunswick, Camden) face direct hurricane and storm surge exposure. The state is also frequently affected by hurricane remnants producing inland wind damage and flooding. IBTrACS data shows Georgia is in the track envelope for both Gulf and Atlantic landfalling storms.

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.
