App Description

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.

risKARMA is the only app in the App Store that shows amazing high definition Crime maps based on the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report (UCR), reports from US Department of Justice, US Census' Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER).
