Natural Hazard Profile: ZIP 67513, Kansas

Located in the interior eastern United States, ZIP 67513 serves the Alexander community. The semi-arid continental climate of this part of Kansas β€” bringing hot summers, cold winters, and exposure at the heart of Tornado Alley β€” directly shapes the hazard exposure for properties in this postal area.

ZIP 67513's overall natural disaster risk is rated 4.1/10 (Moderate) by FEMA's National Risk Index. Prolonged drought is the primary hazard risk, shaped by low annual rainfall, high evaporation rates, and increasing temperature trends that deepen and lengthen dry periods. Secondary hazards include hail and ice storm.

Relative to other U.S. communities, ZIP 67513's natural disaster risk is near the U.S. national average of 4.5/10, slightly below the 5.2/10 state average. The hazard distribution here is led by drought and hail, as measured by FEMA across Kansas. While city-specific sub-county variation exists, these scores represent the best available federal risk estimate.

ZIP 67513's moderate risk profile means that while catastrophic events are less frequent, they do occur. Standard homeowners insurance typically covers many common hazards here, but confirming that drought exposure is adequately protected is a worthwhile step for property owners.

What this means for ZIP 67513: Drought preparedness
