## What this is — and is NOT (interpretation)

This is FEMA/CDC **modeled** hazard exposure for Greater Bridgeport, CT and its national rank. It is **not** a verdict on whether Greater Bridgeport is a good or bad place to live (hazard exposure is not place quality), **not** a per-property or per-address assessment, **not** a prediction of any specific disaster, and **not** insurance advice. For site-specific risk use a per-property assessment; for the model see https://hazards.fema.gov/nri/.
