Alabama Hurricane Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

Alabama's Gulf Coast, centered on Mobile Bay, is exposed to North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico hurricane landfalls. IBTrACS data shows significant hurricane track density in the northern Gulf, with Alabama frequently affected by storms making landfall in the FL Panhandle to MS/LA coast corridor. Mobile Bay's funnel geometry amplifies storm surge.

Notable Historical Events

12020 Hurricane Sally — CAT 2 near Gulf Shores, $7B+ total damage (FEMA DR-4563)
22005 Hurricane Katrina — significant surge damage along AL coast (FEMA DR-1605)
32004 Hurricane Ivan — CAT 3, devastating surge in Baldwin County (FEMA DR-1549)

Hazard Scoring Approach

CivilSense computes a Climate-Adjusted 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 peer-reviewed 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.
