University of Central Florida: New Tool from UCF-led Team Shows Homeowners and Renters the True Cost of Disasters

University of Central Florida: New Tool from UCF-led Team Shows Homeowners and Renters the True Cost of Disasters . “The easy-to-use tool allows users to plug in an address and instantly receive the property’s HazardReady score. The score shows just how resilient, or disaster-ready, a home is, and projects how much hazards, such as winds and flooding, could cost a homeowner each year. HazardAware can provide reports for 13.3 million addresses in 196 counties along the Gulf of Mexico — including all of Florida, and parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. This is a region that is historically impacted by hurricanes and other large hydrometeorological hazards each year.”
