COMMUNITY PROFILE

Otoe, Nebraska has a very low overall risk rating of 40.95, with a population of 15,885 and a risk value of $4,837,994.36. The county faces relatively low to moderate risks from various natural hazards, such as hail storms, wind events, lightning strikes, and flooding.

The area's geographical features, including water bodies, fault lines, and mountain peaks, contribute to the overall hazard risk in Otoe County. The county's relatively low risk from wildfires is supported by a low annual frequency of such events, along with the presence of water bodies and other natural barriers that can help prevent the spread of wildfires. Additionally, the county's susceptibility to hailstorms is influenced by its proximity to mountain peaks and fault lines, which can affect weather patterns and increase the likelihood of hail events.
