Oregon Flood Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

Oregon experiences riverine flooding along the Willamette, Columbia, and Rogue river systems, plus urban flooding from intense winter storms. Atmospheric rivers drive the majority of major flood events in the state. Post-wildfire debris flow hazard is an increasing concern following large fire seasons.

Notable Historical Events

11996 Willamette Valley Floods — record stages on multiple rivers (FEMA DR-1099)
22009 New Year's Flood — significant flooding in multiple Oregon basins
32021 post-fire debris flows — multiple events in 2020 fire scar areas

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.
