Auxvasse, Missouri
4 Land Tracts in Callaway County , Lower Missouri-Moreau Watershed
Auxvasse, Missouri, located in Callaway County, faces relatively low natural disaster and climate risks overall. The area experiences moderate temperatures with an average of 12.5°C and high humidity of 84%. Precipitation levels are moderate at 1017.05 mm, contributing to a relatively low risk of flooding. However, the area is prone to lightning strikes, which pose a moderate risk.
While Auxvasse is not located near coastlines or fault lines, it is situated within the Lower Missouri-Moreau hydrologic unit, which could contribute to localized flooding during heavy rainfall. The region is part of the Lower Missouri hydrologic subregion, which may increase the risk of flooding, although historical events indicate relatively low hazard incidents. The area's relatively moderate hazard risk is influenced by the presence of the Missouri River to the south, which can impact water levels during periods of heavy precipitation.
Overall, Auxvasse benefits from a relatively low hazard risk due to its location away from major geological features that could contribute to natural disasters. The area's risk level is further mitigated by its distance from fault lines or significant mountain peaks. While lightning strikes and localized flooding remain potential hazards, historical data and the absence of major water bodies indicate a relatively safe environment for residents. It is essential for emergency preparedness plans to consider the moderate risk factors present in the region, such as lightning and potential flooding from nearby hydrologic units.
