Future Risk Index

This is a rebuilt version of FEMA’s Future Risk Index for the United States. The Future Risk Index adds a climate change multiplier to FEMA’s National Risk Index, which measures the economic impact of natural hazards. The Future Risk Index shows how those impacts change when you take climate change into account. The map shows one hazard, one output type, and one emissions scenario at a time. You can change these using the filters.

The Future Risk Index uses ICPP emissions scenarios: Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) or Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), depending on the hazard.

What’s not included: Future population growth, changing demographics, land use changes, adaptation. This tool shows how climate change will impact communities if all else is held the same.
