Weather peril exposure
HAMILTON is a partly retired 127 MW coal power plant in Butler County, OH, operated by CITY OF HAMILTON - (OH). Butler County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.1 of 5 at the 29th national percentile. Heat wave is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 89th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a coal plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
