Milan, Missouri
3 Land Tracts in Sullivan County , Lower Grand Watershed
Milan, Missouri, located in Sullivan County, is characterized by a relatively low overall natural disaster and climate risk, as indicated by hazard risk data. The area experiences moderate precipitation levels and mild temperatures, with a relatively low risk of severe weather events. However, given its proximity to the Lower Grand hydrologic unit, there is a potential for flooding during heavy rainfall periods. Additionally, the region's relatively high clay content in the soil increases the risk of landslides during periods of heavy precipitation.
While Milan is not located near coastlines or fault lines, it is surrounded by several water bodies, including the Grand River, which can contribute to flooding risks during periods of high water levels. The presence of the Chariton-Grand hydrologic subregion and the Missouri hydrologic region further highlight the potential for water-related hazards in the area. Despite the overall low risk of natural disasters, it is essential for residents and local authorities to remain vigilant and prepared for possible flooding events, especially during the rainy season.
Overall, Milan, Missouri, faces a low to moderate risk of natural disasters, with a focus on potential flooding events due to its proximity to water bodies and the specific geological features of the region. While the area's climate is generally mild, with moderate precipitation levels, the presence of the Lower Grand hydrologic unit and the surrounding water bodies pose a potential hazard risk. It is important for residents to stay informed about emergency procedures and to take necessary precautions to mitigate the impact of potential flooding events in the future.
