Utuado Municipio, Puerto Rico: hazard risk
FEMA rates Utuado Municipio's overall risk unrated. Its storm record holds 170 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 | $5.2M | |
| Hail | not rated | $2K | |
| Hurricane | not rated | $11M | |
| Heat Wave | not rated | $0 | |
| Riverine Flooding | not rated | $5.4M | |
| Landslide | not rated | $41M | |
| Lightning | not rated | $409K | |
| Strong Wind | not rated | $225 | |
| Tornado | not rated | $18K |
