Assess Hazard Impacts

Hazard tooltip

There are several tools to help you assess the potential impacts of hazards. To quickly view these tools,
navigate to an area on the map of interest to you and click a hazard icon.

A hazard tooltip will appear with “quick links” to more information about the hazard. The tooltip provides quick links to Products, Info, Layers, and Area Brief.

Products

Assess Hazard Impacts

Products

The Products link provides access to a variety of reports, custom maps, analyses, and other information shared by multiple agencies about the hazard. Below is an example of product types:

Situational Awareness Products (for specialized maps, analyses, modeled impact assessments)
Situation Reports (for detailed agency updates of the situation on the ground)
Damage and Needs Assessments (for information related to damage and needs)
Reference Maps (for response and recovery planning)

Layers

Assess Hazard Impacts

Layers

The Layers link allows you to view default hazard layers and explore other pertinent information to help assess potential impacts of a hazard.

For example, the Ash Cloud layer shown here details the spread of volcanic ash within 6 hours after an eruption in Ecuador based on the latest ash cloud advisory. This can help determine where the deposit of ash potentially intersects with at-risk populations and infrastructure when those layers are also turned on.
