An $8 million offering from Chatham, Mass., records a Flood Score of 4.9 out of 5.0, ICE reports. Locations with a component Physical Climate Risk Score, which includes Flood, Wildfire and Hurricane, of 3.0 or higher out of 5.0 indicate high physical climate risk due to hurricane, flooding or wildfire events.

A $5 million bond deal from Gloucester, N.J., has a Flood Score of 4.2 out of 5.0 on ICE's scale, while a $50 million tranche from Hamilton, N.J., records a Flood Score of 4.2.

Separately, a $25 million offering from Washington Elementary School District, Ariz., records a Flood Score of 3.7, and a $70 million deal from Arcadia Unified School District, Calif., has a Wildfire Score of 4.5, according to ICE Climate Data.
