Legend
Earthquake intensity zones indicate where there is a 20% probability that
degrees of intensity shown on the map will be exceeded in 50 years.
Tropical storm intensity zones indicate where there is a 10% probability of
a storm of this intensity striking in the next 10 years.
The bar chart below show the degree of exposure to
natural hazards and the percentage of area affected.
Tsunamis and storm surges are a threat to coastal regions,
particularly gulfs, bays, and estuaries. The flood hazard
results from river floods and torrential rain. The hazard of
dryness and drought is caused by major deviations from
the normal amounts of precipitation. The frost hazard
depends on the elevation and the latitude.
