Question

You're explaining the use of the Natural Hazard Disclosure statement to your seller client. You describe the natural hazard zones it covers. Which of these is NOT one of the natural hazard zones included in the disclosure?

Answer 1

The Natural Hazard Disclosure statement typically covers flood, wildfire, earthquake fault, and seismic hazard zones. It does not typically include man-made hazards like chemical contamination.

Step-by-step explanation:

When describing the Natural Hazard Disclosure statement to a seller client, you would identify several natural hazard zones that it covers. These typically include areas prone to specific types of environmental risks such as wildfires, floods, earthquakes, and severe weather conditions. Commonly included zones are flood hazard zones, high fire risk zones, earthquake fault zones, and areas susceptible to seismic hazard such as liquefaction or landslides. The disclosure might also include tsunami hazard zones near the coast. However, it does not include man-made hazards like chemical contamination or radon gas, as these are not natural hazards but may still be important for other property disclosures.
