Are there any known faults in the area? Have there been any earthquakes in this immediate area? If yes, when, how close was the epicenter, what was the magnitude? What specific seismic hazards may be of concern and what kind of damage might be expected? What is the potential for future quakes?

Mass Wasting Hazards:

What is the topography of this area? What is the geology (rock type) in this area? What is the climate of this area? Have there been any landslides in this area? When & how close to this property? Is this property close to any coastline or riverbank where erosion may be an issue?

Has there been any subsidence – sinkholes, karst or other, caused by groundwater or fluid removal? How close to this property? What is the underlying geology of the area?

Flood hazards:

How close is this property to any flood source – fluvial (river) or coastal (hurricane induced)? What is the elevation of the property? Has there been flooding in the past? Is the property in a flood zone?

Coastal hazards:

How close to the shoreline is this property? What is the elevation? What is the geology – solid rock or sand? Have there been any hurricanes in the past? If yes, how often, category, most recent? What is the reoccurrence interval for hurricanes in this area? What conditions / damage might be expected in the event of a hurricane?

What is the source of drinking water for this property? Is it a municipal or private source? Has there been any water contamination in this area? What is the source and proximity of any contamination? Is there any potential for groundwater contamination in the area (particularly related to industry)? Look for water quality reports for the community. Is there sufficient water availability from the current source for the population?

Landfills, Brownfields or Superfund Sites:

Are there any sources of toxic contamination in proximity to the property? How close, what are the actual potential hazards associated with the site(s)?
