Physical Risk Screening

2 min read · Last updated Jun 30, 2026

Physical risk screening helps evaluate a property, site, or investment area across supported hazards such as flood, wildfire, drought stress, and heat. GeoRetina AI returns a screening score, dominant hazard drivers, supporting evidence, and caveats for deeper due diligence.

Screening, not a recommendation

Physical risk outputs are decision-support summaries. They are not financial, insurance, valuation, lending, buy, sell, or development recommendations.

When to Use It

  • First-pass site or property due diligence.
  • Comparing hazard drivers before deeper engineering review.
  • Understanding whether flood, wildfire, heat, or drought stress is the dominant concern.
  • Preparing a concise risk summary for internal review.

How to Ask

Use Super mode for property, site, portfolio, or investment due-diligence screening.

Site screen

In Super mode, screen @site_boundary for physical climate risk and identify the dominant hazard drivers.

Investment context

Create a physical-risk due diligence summary for @property_area.

Hazard comparison

Compare flood, wildfire, drought stress, and heat signals for @portfolio_site.

Summary pack

Generate a screening summary with score, tier, evidence, and caveats.

Outputs

The workflow can return a map, physical hazard score comparison, summary pack, caveats, and supporting charts for the hazards with available evidence.

Reading the Result

The overall score and tier summarize the screening result. The dominant hazard explains which supported signal is driving the score. Review the caveats before using the output in a decision process, especially when a hazard has insufficient data or when parcel-level or building-level conclusions require more precise asset geometry.

Useful Follow-ups

  • "Explain why flood is the dominant hazard in this screening result."
  • "List the assumptions and caveats I should verify before due diligence."
  • "Create a short investment committee summary from this screening."
  • "Export the supporting map and chart assets."
