North Carolina Hurricane Hazard Profile
Hazard Data · Model Version 2.5
Overview
North Carolina's Outer Banks and Cape Fear coastline are directly exposed to North Atlantic hurricane tracks. IBTrACS data shows the Carolinas as a frequent landfall target for both direct hits and recurving storms. The state's barrier island geography amplifies storm surge hazard, and inland flooding from hurricane rainfall frequently exceeds wind damage.

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.
