Barranquitas Municipio, Puerto Rico: hazard risk
FEMA rates Barranquitas Municipio's overall risk unrated. Its storm record holds 154 events since 1950.
FEMA's rating for each hazard
These are FEMA's county-wide model ratings and this county's storm record. They are not an assessment of any property, address or building, and not insurance advice: a property's risk depends on its own elevation, construction and location.
FEMA gives each hazard its own rating, and a rating does not follow the score from one hazard to the next: a hazard with a higher score can carry a lower rating than another. The table sorts by FEMA's rating, then by score (0 to 100, the county against every other county for that hazard).
| Hazard | Risk rating | Score | Expected annual loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earthquake | not rated | $3.9M | |
| Hail | not rated | $807 | |
| Hurricane | not rated | $9.4M | |
| Riverine Flooding | not rated | $1.7M | |
