Natural Hazard Profile: Humphrey, Arkansas
Located in the interior eastern United States in Arkansas County, Humphrey is a small community of about 826. The humid subtropical climate that characterizes this part of Arkansas — marked by hot, humid summers and frequent severe thunderstorm activity — directly influences the types and severity of natural hazards present, making Humphrey a community where hazard awareness has real practical value.
FEMA rates Humphrey's composite natural disaster risk at 6.0 out of 10 — high risk. Seismic activity is the dominant hazard, with the community situated in or near an active tectonic zone capable of producing damaging ground shaking.

Relative to other U.S. communities, Humphrey's natural disaster risk is above the U.S. national average of 4.5/10, near the 6.2/10 state average. The hazard distribution here is led by earthquake and wind, as measured by FEMA across Arkansas County. While city-specific sub-county variation exists, these scores represent the best available federal risk estimate.
Humphrey's high risk designation reflects meaningful exposure to natural hazards. Residents should verify that their insurance covers the area's primary risks, prepare a family emergency plan, and stay informed about seasonal hazard peaks through local weather and emergency management services.
