Hazard Screening Shouldn't Require Expensive Software
You need fast, defensible insight into hazard exposure — not an enterprise platform built for everything.
Too often, these tools are:
-
Expensive, slow to implement, and hard to justify for screening - Focused on long-term financial projections before identifying exposed assets
- Built on layered assumptions that are difficult to validate
- Overly complex for first-pass hazard screening

A Better Way to Screen Your Portfolio
Degree Day provides transparent, location-specific hazard screening using public, peer-reviewed, and agency datasets — organized for practical risk decisions. You receive a report and workbook showing which assets are exposed, which hazards drive the result, and where deeper review is warranted.
See exactly what you would receive before you commit.
Inside the Report
A hazard score for every asset
The core deliverable ranks every asset by a composite exposure score — a simple triage metric based on the primary hazards most relevant for portfolio-level screening. Individual hazard scores are always provided separately, so you can see which perils drive each result rather than relying on a single black-box number. Hover any cell for the score and tier; click a hazard to re-rank the table.

Complete hazard scores for every asset across all 15 hazard categories, delivered as a PDF report and Excel data file.
What Becomes Possible
Once you know which assets are exposed, you stop guessing and start deciding.
500 assets uploaded
42 flagged as exposed
8 priority for review
Focus attention on the assets that actually need it.
Most portfolios have a small number of genuinely exposed assets buried among many lower-risk ones. Screening shows you which is which, so follow-on analysis goes where it actually matters.

Illustrative example
A real-estate owner needs to screen 500 sites ahead of an insurance renewal. 42 come back at High or Very High exposure. The owner focuses deeper review on the 8 highest-priority sites, supports renewal discussions with documented screening results, and avoids unnecessary deep analysis on the rest.

D.J. Rasmussen, PhD — Founder & Principal
A climate scientist with engineering-sector experience — 15+ years evaluating datasets inside major engineering firms and research institutions, including WSP, Arup, and NOAA. We evaluate which sources are appropriate for screening decisions, where they are reliable, and where their limitations need to be documented — so you get results grounded in the world's leading research, not generic automated outputs with unclear provenance.
Peer-reviewed science, fully documented
Each hazard layer is sourced from peer-reviewed research, public agencies, or domain-specific technical datasets. Every report includes the data sources, scoring framework, and limitations in plain language — so when someone asks how you assessed climate risk, you already have the answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from using a climate risk platform?
Many risk platforms are designed around enterprise workflows, financial-loss modeling, dashboards, and ongoing subscriptions — powerful, but often overkill when you just need to identify where problems exist. Portfolio Hazard Screening identifies where your assets are exposed. Think of it as triage: which assets face material exposure, and where should you focus deeper analysis? We use peer-reviewed datasets with full source documentation, not proprietary black-box models.
What does a hazard score actually mean?
Each asset is scored 0–100 per hazard, grouped into five bands from Very Low to Very High. Scores are relative exposure rankings built for screening and triage — they tell you where to focus deeper analysis, not a projected dollar loss.
Do the scores reflect current or future climate?
Screening scores reflect present-day exposure. Each report includes a forward-looking note on how the hazard is expected to shift over time. More detailed future-climate data is available on request — though its reliability varies substantially by hazard, region, timescale, and physical process, which is why we keep it separate from the core screening.
Why should I trust your hazard scores?
Each hazard is based on public, peer-reviewed, agency, or domain-specific technical datasets — the leading available science for each peril, not proprietary in-house models. Full source documentation is included in every report.
What is included in the screening?
A PDF report (typically 40 pages) covering hazard exposure summary and individual hazard scores, plus an Excel file with all underlying scores and data. Every report includes full methodology documentation and data provenance. Not included: financial risk quantification, asset valuation impacts, or insurance modeling.
How fast will I get my report?
Most portfolios are delivered within a few business days of receiving your asset list. Larger or custom-scoped portfolios may take longer — we'll confirm the timeline upfront.
What regions do you cover?
We provide global land coverage using the best available public, peer-reviewed, and agency datasets. Data quality varies by hazard and region, and those limitations are documented in the report.
What do you need from me, and is there a minimum?
Just a list of asset locations — a spreadsheet of addresses or coordinates is all we need, and there's no minimum portfolio size. Larger or messier datasets are fine too; we clean and geocode them as part of the process.
How do you handle our data?
Asset locations are transmitted via secure encrypted file transfer. Exact coordinates are preferred for asset-level scoring. For sensitive portfolios, you can provide county, district, or other generalized locations for higher-level screening, with limitations documented in the report. If your security team has specific requirements, contact us before submitting and we'll accommodate them.
