Tornado risk assessment
Tornado risk assessment evaluates the likelihood and potential impact of tornadoes on a specific area. It considers historical tornado frequency, regional climate, geographic features, and weather patterns. This analysis helps determine the probability of tornado occurrence and its possible severity, guiding preparedness and safety measures. Essentially, it’s a way to understand the level of threat posed by tornadoes so individuals, communities, and planners can make informed decisions to reduce risk and enhance safety.
