COMMUNITY PROFILE

Osceola, Florida faces a relatively moderate overall risk rating of 95.13, with high scores in severe weather events (HRCN) and hurricane occurrences (CWAV) contributing to the elevated risk. The area experiences frequent lightning events (LTNG) with a very low risk rating, but the potential for relatively moderate expected annual losses. The risk from wildfires (WFIR) is also notable, with a high risk value and rating of 97.77 due to the area's susceptibility to wildfires despite their infrequency.

Specific climate factors in Osceola, Florida include a high frequency of severe weather events like hurricanes, as well as lightning strikes and wildfires. The county is located inland, away from coastlines, but its proximity to water bodies like lakes and rivers can contribute to flood risks during heavy rainfall events. The region's flat topography can exacerbate flood risks, while the absence of mountain peaks and fault lines mitigates earthquake risks.
