Tornado risk map

A tornado risk map shows the likelihood of tornadoes occurring in different areas, helping residents and authorities understand potential danger zones. These maps categorize regions based on historical tornado activity, geography, and climate patterns, often using color codes from low to high risk. They help inform preparedness, building codes, and emergency planning, guiding where to strengthen structures or be especially vigilant during tornado seasons. While they don't predict exact events, they provide a valuable overview of relative risk, supporting communities in making informed decisions to protect lives and property.
