Nebraska Flood Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

Nebraska faces riverine flood hazard along the Missouri, Platte, Elkhorn, and Loup river systems. The 2019 bomb cyclone flooding demonstrated the state's vulnerability to rapid snowmelt combined with heavy rainfall. Ice jam flooding is an additional winter/spring hazard on Nebraska rivers.

Notable Historical Events

12019 Bomb Cyclone Floods — $3.4B total damage, catastrophic along Missouri/Platte (FEMA DR-4420)
22011 Missouri River Flood — record stages from Montana to Missouri
32015 Platte River Flooding — ice jam and rainfall flooding

Hazard Scoring Approach

CivilSense computes a Climate-Adjusted Hazard Score (0–10) for flood hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and peer-reviewed research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.

These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
