What is in the site risk dataset?
Data center site risk data places each facility on public hazard maps, so its exposure to flood, earthquake, heat and water stress can be compared across a portfolio.
Insurers and lenders need exposure by site, not by country. The hazard maps exist, but they are published by dozens of agencies in different formats. We read each facility's coordinates against the official map and keep the source.
What is inside the dataset
One row per fact, linked by id to the facility, the operator and the market, so it joins with every other DC Market Insights dataset.
| Field | What it holds | Facts held |
|---|---|---|
| Flood zone | Zone or return period from the national flood map. | 0 |
| Seismic hazard | Peak ground acceleration or zone from the national seismic model. | 1,019 |
| Extreme heat | Days above a threshold or cooling degree days, with the dataset. | 2,381 |
| Water stress | Baseline water stress for the basin, with the dataset. | 0 |
| Location basis | Exact address or city centre, so the precision is clear. | 0 |
| Source, quote and date | The link, the exact words of the source and the date the value was true, on every row. | All |
Formats: Excel or CSV, one row per facility and hazard, with map edition and location precision.

When: how often it is updated
Update cycle: Recomputed every quarter and when a facility location is corrected; each run keeps the earlier values. Earlier values are never overwritten, so you can see when a date moved or a figure changed.
Who uses it and for what
Property and business interruption insurers
Exposure for every insured site, ready for the underwriting file.
Lenders and investors
Physical risk screening for due diligence.
Operators
Portfolio risk for disclosures and site selection.
Why you can rely on it
- Primary sources first. We never copy data center directories, research publishers or press-release wires. This dataset is built from:
- FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (United States)
- USGS Seismic Design Maps, ASCE 7-22 (United States)
- NASA POWER climatology (worldwide heat: cooling degree days and maximum temperatures)
- Further national hazard maps as each country is added
- The words and the date. Each value is stored with the source link, the exact sentence it comes from and the date it was true.
- A second, independent check. Every value is checked again against its source before it is stored. Values that cannot be confirmed are dropped.
- History, not overwrites. A new value is a new record, so changes in dates, MW and status stay visible.
- Our estimates are labelled. Anything we compute, such as a value per MW, is marked derived or DC Market Insights estimate.

Where does the risk data come from?
Only from government and intergovernmental hazard datasets, read at each facility's coordinates. Every value names the dataset and its edition.
How precise is the location?
Each facility says whether its coordinates come from the source address or from the city centre. City-level points are flagged so they are not over-read.
Can you score our own list of sites?
Yes. Send addresses or coordinates; we return each hazard value with its source and date.
