Bieber, California, located in Lassen County, faces relatively low to moderate natural disaster and climate risks. The area experiences moderate precipitation levels and humidity, with a temperate climate that may contribute to the risk of wildfires during dry seasons. However, the risk of events such as hurricanes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions is considered very low, reducing the overall hazard potential.

The presence of water bodies such as the Upper Pit and Upper Sacramento hydrologic units may increase flood risks during periods of heavy rainfall.
Despite its relatively low to moderate hazard risks, Bieber has a history of facing occasional challenges such as wildfires and flooding. It is essential for residents to stay vigilant and prepared for potential disasters, especially during peak wildfire seasons.
