Jenkins, Missouri
8 Land Tracts in Lawrence County , James Watershed
Jenkins, Missouri, located in Barry County, faces a relatively high risk of severe weather events such as tornadoes and thunderstorms due to its location in Tornado Alley. With a high annual precipitation rate of 1141.42 mm and a moderate temperature of 13.34°C, the area is susceptible to flash flooding and water-related hazards. The nearby James River and Upper White River increase the risk of flooding during heavy rainfall events.
The geological features in the region, including the Ozark Mountains to the south and the presence of fault lines, contribute to the overall hazard risk in Jenkins. The proximity to the Arkansas-White-Red hydrologic region and the Upper White hydrologic accounting unit further elevate the potential for natural disasters such as landslides and mudslides. While the risk of wildfires is relatively low in the area, the dense vegetation and forested areas surrounding Jenkins could pose a threat during dry, hot periods.
Overall, Jenkins, Missouri, faces a relatively low risk of certain natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. However, the combination of climate factors, geographical features, and nearby water bodies increases the likelihood of flooding and severe weather events. It is essential for residents and local authorities to be prepared for these hazards and have emergency plans in place to mitigate the risks and ensure the safety of the community.
