Hazard profile

Every hazard map at an address in one place: FEMA flood zone, hurricane evacuation zone, storm surge, Hurricane Harvey’s high-water marks nearby, sea level rise, earthquake faults, liquefaction and landslide zones, fire hazard zones, urban heat, traffic noise, and weather alerts, earthquakes and wildfires now.

  • Is this house in a flood zone?
  • What hazards should a family know about here?
  • Is this on a fault?

For the agent, the tool is described as: All public hazard layers at one place in Houston or Los Angeles: FEMA flood zone, transportation noise, urban heat, sea level rise 3 and 6 ft, weather alerts now, earthquakes and wildfires nearby; Houston also hurricane evacuation zone, airport noise, category 3 storm surge and Harvey high-water marks; Los Angeles also Alquist-Priolo fault, liquefaction and landslide zones and CAL FIRE fire hazard severity. Each row says its source; a blank map means not mapped, not no risk.

Input Type Required Default Notes
place Place yes Where a tool runs when it does not need a scan: a scan id, a CoStar property id (all its scans), an address,. Filled from the selected building.

An input that nothing fills (the selected building, a saved preference, a persona’s preset) becomes a question to the person. The agent asks only for those.

Layer Id Needed If it is missing
Hazards public.hazards required The verdict is unknown, with the reason.

A tool result: a verdict (pass, warn, fail or unknown), metrics, checks and findings, each with its source.

  • Panel blocks: VerdictHeader, MetricRow, CheckList, StepLog.
  • Speed: fast. Read-only.

Hazard profile: every hazard map at one address in one result.

Every metric and finding carries its layer, its method and a high, medium or low label, set by the tool for each value. See findings and reliability.

  • Needs: public.hazards. On a scan without it, the verdict is unknown and says why.
  • A result is a planning aid, not an inspection.

This section was written by running the tool when the docs were built, on a hand-made RoomPlan export (no real place was scanned), with no sponsor keys and the network switched off.

Cannot answer here This place has no location, so no hazard map can be read.

A phone scan has walls, doors, windows, rooms and objects, but no location, no photos and no property record.
