risKARMA can tell you at a glance the precise risk level for hurricane, flood, earthquake, and crime. We calculate this at a detailed resolution down to individual blocks, not at a city or county level.
Are you in the market to rent or buy a new home? Use risKARMA to know *instantly* facts the seller, real estate agent, nor leading real estate apps won’t tell you about the area.
Are you planning a trip to an area you are not familiar with? Why take an unnecessary risk - simply type in the address or the name of the venue, and risKARMA will *instantly* show you the area’s crime score and an easy to understand crime map.
Your risk score is calculated by applying a statistical methodology to show risk level using an intuitive 1 to 10 scoring. No vague mumbo jumbo.
Our high definition Hurricane Map is based on HAZUS-MH 2.1, ASCE-7, and US Census data. No other app in the App Store utilized such comprehensive set of hurricane data. Are you concerned you are buying or renting in a vulnerable area with the potential for the next Hurricane Sandy? Find out instantly using risKARMA.
Our Flood Map is based on FEMA’s Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps as of November 2013 (the latest available), and the National Flood hazard Web Map Service. Are you concerned you are buying in an area that requires flood insurance? Find out instantly using risKARMA.
Our Earthquake Map is based on the latest USGS national seismic hazard mapping project (USGS 2008 NSHM), HAZUS-MH 2.1, and ASCE-7. Did you think all of California and Northwest are equally vulnerable to the next Big One? Find out your detailed Earthquake risk level instantly using risKARMA.

Latest reviews of risKARMA app for iPhone and iPad
Who builds an app claiming to show flood risk and leaves out basically all information for the most famously flooded city in America? App clearly says information is block by block, but flood data for New Orleans is the same for the whole city. Thought this would work as a quick reference for FEMA flood risk map and historical data from hurricane Katrina.
Does not do one thing it says. And trust me do not buy. Not even worth it if it was free. Scam.
The data is extremely useful But the app uses random colors that dont in any way help you understand tied values and low values – – there isnt even a legend to refer her to Additionally the inputs to find an address involvestyping the address almost You cant just touch the map and have it drop a pin and give you the information from there Useful little app but extremely poorly executed and painful to use – – sad because it has such potential
risKARMA is a nice, user friendly app that informs and prepares you for what is to come.
Thanks for this nice free app!
