Fremont, Nebraska, located in Dodge County, faces a relatively low overall hazard risk, with specific risks like flooding and severe weather rated as relatively moderate. The area is situated within the Lower Platte hydrologic unit, which could lead to increased flood risk during heavy precipitation events. Despite being at a relatively low risk for natural disasters, Fremont does experience occasional flooding from the nearby Platte River, which can impact the community and infrastructure.
