    • BETA - Hazard Exposure: Principal Ports

    Metadata Updated: October 23, 2025

    The BETA - Hazard Exposure: Principal Ports dataset was updated on October 16, 2025 from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The BETA - Hazard Exposure: Principal Ports dataset shows the exposure of Principal Ports to select natural hazards. The dataset combines hazard data from FEMA, USGS, NOAA, and USDA with information for the top 150 Principal Ports as determined by the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE). Data as of CY 2023. Hazard data include estimates of annualized frequency of Coastal Flooding, Cold Wave, Drought, Hail, Hurricane, Heat Wave, Ice Storm, Lightning, Strong Wind, Tornado, and Winter Weather from the FEMA National Risk Index. Landslide Index and Sinkhole Susceptibility derive from USGS models. USDA Burn Probability data underlie estimates of wildfire exposure. NOAA SLOSH models estimate storm surge inundation from hurricanes. The data set covers all 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
