Preparedness Education Network

OUR PURPOSE :

From a 2018 KDVR FOX31 Report
While Denver is safe from hurricanes and tsunamis, the county is vulnerable to its own share of natural disasters.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, each county in the country is ranked on its Risk Index. FEMA’s National Risk Index identifies communities at risk of 18 natural hazards.
The 18 natural hazards are:

  • Avalanche
  • Coastal Flooding
  • Cold wave
  • Drought
  • Earthquake
  • Hail
  • Heatwave
  • Hurricane
  • Ice storm
  • landslide
  • Lightning
  • Riverine flooding
  • Strong wind
  • Tornado
  • Tsunami
  • Volcanic activity
  • Wildfire
  • Winter weather

FEMA then uses the following equation to calculate the Risk Index for the specific county: expected annual loss multiplied by social vulnerability and divided by community resilience, and that equals the risk index.

According to FEMA, the county has a very high rating for hail and tornado’s, a relatively high rating for a cold wave and lightning, and a relatively moderate ranking for winter weather.
Due to Denver’s susceptibility to natural hazards and the impact it would have on the population, FEMA calculates that Denver County has the highest risk index in all of Colorado. To see how at risk your county is against natural hazards, visit FEMA’s interactive map.
