Switch hazards to redraw the map. Colors use one national scale (darker is higher), so you can compare this area to the rest of the country. Risk tiers are based on high-emissions projections that don't change with the scenario selector below.
Each county is filled by modeled percent change in rare-extreme rain intensity. Warmer colors = a steeper jump toward harder downpours.
