Natural hazard disclosure reports are provided by real estate agents to alert homebuyers if a property in California lies in a state-mapped hazard area at risk for flood, earthquakes, fires, landslides and other environmental hazards. NHDirect combines accuracy, clarity and affordability in a short, simplified document focusing on the hazard data required by California law.

Supplemental information on radon gas, airport influence, Megan's Law disclosures and military ordinances is also included in NHDirect reports. A California tax report that details all of a property's applicable taxes – including Mello-Roos and 1915 Bond Act Assessment Districts – is available as an addition to the report.

"NHDirect is a quick, reliable natural hazard disclosure solution that offers accuracy and reliability at substantial savings for real estate agents," said Mark Reedy, managing director, LPS National Flood. "Our simple, efficient online ordering process delivers reports electronically – usually within seconds – to ensure a faster turnaround time for quicker closings."

LPS National Flood has developed a user-friendly website, located at www.naturalhazarddirect.com, which will enable users to order, review and receive NHDirect reports online.  The ordering interface uses Web 2.0 technologies for an improved user experience, and the solution can be directly integrated with production systems.
