Local Hazard Outlooks

Localized hazard information for the Mid-Atlantic region

The Local Hazard Outlooks are currently being updated to version 2.0. This website is still in its testing phase

Do you know how extreme weather and other hazards impacts the city or county in which you live? If we want to reduce risks to extreme weather impacts, it is important to understand how weather and other hazards are changing in our “backyard” and how those changes impact our everyday life and our surroundings. Launched in Spring 2022, Local Hazard Outlooks highlight extreme weather and its associated impacts for communities in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, DC.

This is version 2.0 of the Local Hazard Outlooks, released in its beta version May 16, 2025. Version 1.0 was originally released April 26, 2022. Please send questions and feedback to Kelsey Ruckert (klr324@psu.edu).
