SEASONAL PATTERNS
Summer and early fall are the driest times of the
year in Southwest Missouri. Unusually dry springs
and winters with little or no snowfall contribute to
drought conditions.
AREAS LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED MOST
Southwest Missouri is less susceptible to problems of prolonged periods without rain due to abundant groundwater
sources. Even with decreased stream flow or lowered reservoir levels, groundwater is still a viable resource in
southern Missouri. However, area groundwater has neared all-time lows recently.
PROBABLE DURATION
Drought conditions tend to be cyclic in nature and are affected by many variables. Scientists typically cannot accurately
forecast drought more than a month or two at a time. The last major drought began in July 1999 and continued
into June of 2000.

SEASONAL PATTERNS
No set seasonal pattern exists, though historically,
seismic activity in Missouri ranges from December
to July.
AREAS LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED MOST
In Missouri, the majority of seismic activity is centered in and around the New Madrid seismic zone. The Nemaha
Uplift runs from about mid-Oklahoma just into Iowa parallel with the Missouri/Kansas border. Greene County
contains many small faults; however, no appreciable damage has been recorded from these formations.
PROBABLE DURATION
Any seismic activity in Southwest Missouri, specifically Greene County, is considered minor at worst
and negligible at best. The activity is believed to be of short duration.
WARNING TIME (Potential Speed of Onset)
Minimal (or no) warning.
3 to 6 hours warning.
6 to 12 hours warning.
More than 12 hours warning.
EXISTING WARNING SYSTEM(S)
Seismic sensors are positioned mainly in the New
Madrid Seismic Zone; however, these sensors are
capable of detecting movement in the Greene
County area. Otherwise, no additional warning
systems exist for this hazard.

Areas that are heavily paved are prone to flooding due to rapid run-off and insufficient drainage.

SEASONAL PATTERNS
Sinkholes are affected by significant water runoff
which can collapse the sides or roof of the sinkhole.
While sinkholes can collapse and enlarge at
anytime, periods of heavy or extended precipitation
tend to be the best times for sinkhole activity.
AREAS LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED MOST
A study by Missouri State University indicated that there are at least 2,500 sinkholes in Greene County.
While known sinkholes have been identified throughout Greene County, the most heavily concentrated area
of sinkholes are in the Northwest corner of the City of Springfield and an area along 160 Hwy. between
Springfield and Willard.
PROBABLE DURATION
Once a sinkhole forms, it is difficult to repair in order to make the area around it usable. In most instances,
it is best to leave the sinkhole alone if at all possible. If repair must be made, strict adherence
to County Design Standards Document, Section 107: Sinkholes and Karst Features must be followed.

Highly Likely: Event probable in the next year.
Likely: Event probable in the next 3 years.
Possible: Event possible in the next 5 years.
Unlikely: Event possible in the next 10 years.
SEASONAL PATTERNS
Sinkholes are affected by significant water runoff
which can collapse the sides or roof of the sinkhole.
While sinkholes can collapse and enlarge at
anytime, periods of heavy or extended precipitation
tend to be the best times for sinkhole activity.
AREAS LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED MOST
A study by Missouri State University indicated that there are at least 2,500 sinkholes in Greene County.
While known sinkholes have been identified throughout Greene County, the most heavily concentrated area
of sinkholes are in the Northwest corner of the City of Springfield and an area along 160 Hwy. between
Springfield and Willard.
PROBABLE DURATION
Once a sinkhole forms, it is difficult to repair in order to make the area around it usable. In most instances,
it is best to leave the sinkhole alone if at all possible. If repair must be made, strict adherence
to County Design Standards Document, Section 107: Sinkholes and Karst Features must be followed.

In the recent past, tornados have occurred much earlier
in the year.
Thunderstorms, hail and lightning usually occur during
the spring and fall months. However, given the right
conditions, thunderstorms can occur anywhere, anytime.
AREAS LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED MOST
All of Greene County is susceptible to the risk of tornados, thunderstorms, hail and lighting.
PROBABLE DURATION
Usually tornados are short lived and dissipate in less than one hour. Thunderstorms can last for days
dropping a significant amount of rain creating the potential for flooding.

SEASONAL PATTERNS
Wildfire season usually begins in February and extends
through mid-May, and begins again in October and goes
through mid-December .
Severe fire season in Greene County is cyclic in nature,
usually occurring every 15-20 years. The last severe
season was in 1980. The season usually corresponds
with drought cycles.
AREAS LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED MOST
According to the Forestry Division of the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), there appears to be a significant
risk of wildfire to the wildland/urban interface. As the urban area expands more into the rural countryside,
the risk of wildfire increases. MDC states that the threat of wildfire is growing due to numerous fallen limbs
due to the 2007 ice storm.
PROBABLE DURATION
Wildfire occurs each year in the Ozarks, including areas of Greene County. Due to the cyclic nature of
wildfire season, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly when and how severe a season will be. It is a definite
fact, however, that wildfire season severity and drought go hand in hand.
