COMMUNITY PROFILE

Butte, California faces a relatively high risk of natural disasters and climate-related events, with a risk score of 97.17 out of 100. The area is prone to events such as droughts, wildfires, landslides, lightning strikes, and flooding, with varying levels of impact and frequency. Specific risk factors include hailstorms, strong winds, and earthquakes, which have occurred in the past with moderate to high frequency. The region's exposure to these hazards is further heightened by its geographic location and topographical features.

Butte County's susceptibility to natural disasters is influenced by its proximity to fault lines, mountain peaks, and water bodies, which contribute to the region's overall risk profile. The county's coastline along water bodies like lakes and rivers can lead to flooding events, while fault lines increase the likelihood of earthquakes. Mountainous terrain can exacerbate the impact of landslides and wildfires, posing additional challenges for disaster mitigation and response efforts. ... Read More
