Ley Forestal 7575 setback measured to the metre for every parcel.

Risk Assessment Services

Seismic Risk Assessment

USGS earthquake data: count of M3.5+ events within 75 km over 25 years, maximum magnitude recorded, nearest event distance, and risk level (LOW / MODERATE / HIGH / VERY HIGH).

  • USGS 25-year seismic history
  • Event count and max magnitude
  • Nearest event km
  • Risk classification (4 levels)

Flood & Landslide Hazard

CNE (Comisión Nacional de Emergencias) hazard zones: flood risk level, landslide susceptibility, historical event proximity. Overlaid with terrain slope and drainage patterns.

  • CNE flood zone classification
  • Landslide susceptibility level
  • Slope-derived instability zones
  • Drainage accumulation overlay

Volcanic Proximity

Distance to Costa Rica's 6 active or potentially active volcanoes: Poás, Irazú, Turrialba, Arenal, Rincón de la Vieja, Barva. Exclusion zone check included.

  • Distance to each active volcano (km)
  • Exclusion zone status
  • Prevailing wind direction
  • Ash fall risk level

River Setback Compliance

Ley Forestal 7575 mandates a 50 m setback from permanent rivers. We measure the exact distance from parcel boundary to nearest river and flag non-compliant parcels.

  • Distance to nearest river (meters)
  • Setback compliance status (COMPLIANT / NON-COMPLIANT)
  • Affected area estimate
  • Construction restriction flag

Risk Classification System

Every risk category uses a consistent, machine-readable classification you can integrate into your underwriting models.

Seismic
LOW / MODERATE / HIGH / VERY HIGH
Flood
LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH
Landslide
LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH
Volcanic
SAFE / MONITOR / EXCLUSION
River setback
COMPLIANT / NON-COMPLIANT
