Data Resources

The National Risk Index can be accessed through multiple venues, including this website, an interactive map and data exploration tool, Community Risk Profile and Comparison Reports, downloads, and geographic information system (GIS) web layers and services.

National Risk Index GIS web layers and services are available through the National Risk Index Group on FEMA's ArcGIS Online Portal, along with a variety of other FEMA-related GIS content and services.

FEMA has just released the new National Risk Index: Future Risk prototype, a separate application that shows projected risk from five natural hazards in different future scenarios.
