3 Land Tracts in Trinity County , Trinity Watershed
Lewiston, California, located in Trinity County, faces relatively low natural disaster and climate risks based on hazard data. The area has a very low risk of wildfires and lightning strikes, with a relatively low risk of flooding. Specific climate factors such as moderate precipitation levels and cool temperatures contribute to the low risk profile. Additionally, the city's location away from fault lines and coastlines reduces the likelihood of earthquakes and tsunamis.
The region is characterized by mountainous terrain, with nearby features such as the Trinity and Klamath River watersheds. These water bodies can pose flood risks during heavy rainfall events, although the area has historically experienced few significant flood events. The absence of active fault lines in the immediate vicinity also lowers the risk of seismic activity. Overall, the geological features in Lewiston contribute to a relatively low hazard risk profile for natural disasters.
While Lewiston may be susceptible to occasional severe weather events like storms, the overall risk of hurricanes and tornadoes is very low. The community's relatively high recreation and climate scores suggest a favorable living environment, with the mountainous landscape providing opportunities for outdoor activities. Despite its proximity to water bodies, the city's low population density and elevation mitigate the potential impact of natural disasters, making it a relatively safe place to reside.
