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.
