![Austin Multi-hazard Risk Index (flood + wildfire + heat + social vulnerability). The multi-hazard index previously computed utilized non-remote sensing, City-based data. An objective of the current project is to produce a similar index integrating remote sensing and socio-economic data. The current index shows there are clear spatial patterns with higher multi-hazard risk located in environmental justice communities in Austin.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2024-03/Climate%20hazard%20composite%20index.jpg.webp?itok=92aBbWp5)
