The Risk Meter Online Adds New Data!
Specializing in Earthquake & Brushfire Hazards
CDS is pleased to announce, in conjunction with EQECAT, Inc., it has added a great deal of earthquake and brush information covering the continental United States. Included are the following:
US Quick Quake - AP Fault Zones AP Fault Zones are designated by the California Department of Mines & Geology as areas near active faults. These are areas adjacent to faults, and therefore likely to be damaged by earthquakes. This is also a requirement for disclosure on CA real estate transactions. More Info...
Availability: State of CA only.
US Quick Quake - Landslide Zones Landslide Zones are areas identified as susceptible to landslides. Areas susceptible to landslide are identified as moderate and high risks. More Info...
Availability: Continental U.S.
US Quick Quake - Access Specifically geared for underwriters, this tool provides the local soil conditions, the name and distance to the closest fault, identification of the controlling fault, and the resulting MMI at the site. All analysis is based upon a 500 year return period. More Info...
Availability: Continental U.S.
US Quick Quake - Score The US Quick Quake Score is designed to give the underwriter a simple, quantitative score to evaluate the overall earthquake risk for a given location. The overall score ranges from 1(very low) to 6 (high). In addition, all information from the US Quick Quake - Access report is included. More Info...
Availability: Continental U.S.
CA Liquefaction/Landslide Susceptibility These very-high resolution maps were developed by the State of California to identify areas prone to landslides and liquefaction. To date, only key areas around Los Angeles and San Francisco have been mapped, with more areas to be added later. This is standard disclosure item for California real estate transactions.
Availability: State of CA Only.
US Wildfire This tool determines the likelihood of wildfire to occur. This data was created considering the effects of vegetation, relative humidity, precipitation, temperature and slope. These components are factored to develop the Wildland Fire Rating Risk Score which provides a stable metric for comparing fire risk nationwide. The data returns a value of high, moderate, low and very low. More Info...
Availability: Continental U.S.
