Near-term home preparedness · U.S. ZIP Codes

What should your home prepare for next?

Home Risk Radar checks official weather alerts and the local forecast for four practical household risks: severe storms, extreme heat, flooding and wildfire conditions.

What this radar does — and does not do

1

Check

We query official National Weather Service alerts for the ZIP Code location and inspect the local forecast.

2

Classify

Signals are grouped into storm, heat, flood and wildfire categories using alert type, severity and forecast thresholds.

3

Prepare

The tool returns short household preparation actions rather than asking you to interpret raw alert data.

Important: Home Risk Radar is a planning aid, not an emergency warning system, evacuation service, insurance tool or property-level hazard assessment. Official NWS alerts, emergency managers and local authorities always take priority.
