Mississippi Flood Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

Mississippi faces flood hazard from the Mississippi River (the state's western boundary), Pearl River (Jackson metro), and Gulf Coast storm surge. The 2019 and 2020 Pearl River flood events demonstrated the vulnerability of the Jackson metro area. FEMA NFIP repetitive loss data shows high claim density in coastal and river-adjacent counties.

Notable Historical Events

12020 Pearl River Flood — near-record stages in Jackson metro (FEMA DR-4536)
22019 Mississippi River Flood — prolonged flooding along western MS
32016 January flooding — significant flooding in central MS

Hazard Scoring Approach

CivilSense computes a Climate-Adjusted Hazard Score (0–10) for flood 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.
