COMMUNITY PROFILE

Venango County in Pennsylvania has a relatively low overall natural disaster risk rating, with specific hazards including hail, extreme wind, flooding, and lightning events. The county has experienced a moderate frequency of events such as hailstorms and flooding, which contribute to the overall risk assessment. However, the area is relatively safe from hurricanes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity, with no expected annual losses from these events.

The region's climate is influenced by its proximity to the Appalachian Mountains, which can impact weather patterns and increase the risk of severe thunderstorms and lightning strikes. The county also has a significant amount of water bodies, including the Allegheny River, which can contribute to flooding events. The presence of fault lines and mountain peaks in the area further elevates the risk of natural disasters, with historical events such as severe storms and flooding serving as evidence of these risks.
