Kingdom-City, Missouri
3 Land Tracts in Callaway County , Lower Missouri-Moreau Watershed
Kingdom-City, Missouri is located in Callaway County and faces a relatively low overall natural disaster and climate risk. The area experiences moderate temperatures, high humidity, and moderate precipitation levels, which can contribute to localized flooding during heavy rainfall events. However, the risk of hurricanes and tsunamis is very low due to its inland location, and it is not prone to volcanic activity or wildfires. The relatively low risk of earthquakes and landslides further contribute to the area's overall lower hazard risk.
While Kingdom-City is not located near any coastlines, fault lines, or mountain peaks that would increase its hazard risk, it is situated within the Lower Missouri hydrologic units, which can lead to potential flooding during periods of heavy rainfall. The nearby Lower Missouri River and Blackwater River are water bodies that could contribute to flooding events, impacting the area's risk of water-related disasters. Additionally, the region's past history of severe storms and tornadoes highlights the importance of being prepared for extreme weather events despite the overall low risk assessment.
Although Kingdom-City has a relatively low natural disaster and climate risk rating, its proximity to water bodies and past history of severe storms emphasizes the importance of preparedness and resilience. By staying informed about weather patterns, maintaining emergency supplies, and having a plan in place for evacuation if necessary, residents can mitigate the potential impact of natural disasters in the area. Public awareness campaigns and community preparedness efforts can further enhance the overall resilience of Kingdom-City to natural hazards.
