Climate Risk Interactive Map

The New Mexico Climate Risk Map is a comprehensive web-based application developed by the Earth Data Analysis Center at the University of New Mexico designed to help New Mexico communities and residents learn more about factors that contribute to their climate change risk. This interactive mapping tool allows users to visualize data related to five major climate hazards: air quality, drought, flooding, heat, and wildfire across New Mexico. The application features multiple data layers organized by hazard type, including hazard information (such as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) disaster declarations, drought monitors, temperature projections, and wildfire risk assessments), sensitivity factors (demographic and socioeconomic indicators including ethnicity percentiles, poverty levels, age distributions, and health conditions), and adaptive capacity factors (infrastructure and resource access measures like telephone and vehicle access, tree canopy coverage, and FEMA flood insurance). Users can customize their view by adjusting layer opacity, selecting different basemap options (streets, satellite, hybrid, topographic, or Open Street Map), and utilize reporting and printing features to generate local data summaries for any city, county, or tribal land area within New Mexico, making it a valuable resource for climate risk assessment and community planning purposes.
