Natural Hazard Profile: Statenville, Georgia

Located in the Deep South in Echols County, Statenville is a small community of about 1,052. The humid subtropical climate that characterizes this part of Georgia — marked by hot, humid summers and relatively mild winters — directly influences the types and severity of natural hazards present, making Statenville a community where hazard awareness has real practical value.

FEMA rates Statenville's composite natural disaster risk at 3.2 out of 10 — low risk. Hurricane and tropical storm exposure tops the local risk profile, with the community vulnerable to storm surge, high sustained winds, and flooding rainfall during the June–November season. Residents should also account for tsunami and volcano risk in their preparedness planning.

Relative to other U.S. communities, Statenville's natural disaster risk is below the U.S. national average of 4.5/10, considerably below the 5.2/10 state average. The hazard distribution here is led by hurricane and tsunami, as measured by FEMA across Echols County. While city-specific sub-county variation exists, these scores represent the best available federal risk estimate.

Statenville carries a below-average natural disaster risk, reflecting fewer and less severe hazard exposures than typical U.S. communities. Even so, the area's primary risk — hurricane — warrants awareness and appropriate insurance coverage, as lower risk does not mean zero risk.
