Georgia Hurricane Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

Georgia's Atlantic coastline is shorter than neighboring states but the coastal counties (Chatham/Savannah, Glynn/Brunswick, Camden) face direct hurricane and storm surge exposure. The state is also frequently affected by hurricane remnants producing inland wind damage and flooding. IBTrACS data shows Georgia is in the track envelope for both Gulf and Atlantic landfalling storms.

Notable Historical Events

12016 Hurricane Matthew — significant coastal flooding and surge in Savannah (FEMA DR-4284)
22018 Hurricane Michael — CAT 2 winds at GA border, agricultural devastation (FEMA DR-4400)
32024 Hurricane Helene — catastrophic inland damage across north Georgia

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.
