California, in beta.

A California parcel — by map click, address, or county assessor's parcel number — gets a per-domain, worst-tier-wins diligence read over mapped state hazard programs and public records: CGS Alquist-Priolo and Seismic Hazard zones, CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones, FEMA flood, DTSC EnviroStor and SWRCB GeoTracker contamination records, county zoning where KILO has a verified source (Riverside County today), and the CEQA / AB 52 / CHRIS-records process a project will face — every finding cited to the layer or statute it came from. It carries no cultural read: KILO has no California knowledge base, holds no CHRIS or Sacred Lands File data, and will not build a sensitivity surface. The cultural line in a California read is a process pointer, and the top line always says so.

Six domains, each cited.

The single worst domain sets the headline tier; it is never averaged, and there is no score. Every domain names the layer or statute it read and, where the source could not be read, says so — a layer that could not be checked is never reported as a layer that came back empty.

• SeismicCalifornia Geological Survey regulatory zones: Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones and Seismic Hazard Zones for liquefaction and earthquake-induced landslide. Where the CGS has not yet evaluated an area, the read says so — not yet mapped is never reported as not in a zone.
• FireOffice of the State Fire Marshal / CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones on the 2024 statewide map — Very High, High or Moderate — with the responsibility area, so the building-permit obligations that follow the class are stated up front.
• FloodFEMA National Flood Hazard Layer: the mapped zone, whether the parcel sits inside the Special Flood Hazard Area, and the base flood elevation where FEMA has published one.
• ContaminationDTSC EnviroStor cleanup sites and hazardous-waste facilities, and SWRCB GeoTracker LUST, cleanup-program and military sites, within 500 m of the parcel — each named with its program, status and distance. Site coordinates never leave the server.
• ZoningCounty zoning on record, read from the county's own service. Riverside County today; every other county reads as not read, with the county planning department named, rather than as a blank.
• Environmental reviewCEQA and AB 52 as the process steps a project will face, each with the statute behind it, and the CHRIS records search as the first thing a lead agency will ask for. A parcel screen reports the process; the determination belongs to the agency.

The cultural axis is not read — by design.

KILO was built in Hawaiʻi, the hardest cultural-compliance market in the country, under one discipline: never turn a silent record into reassurance, never rank parcels by a cultural criterion, and never hold a record the product is not entitled to hold. That restraint travels to California unchanged. With AB 52 live and project-delaying, it is also the only honest way to read a parcel without a cultural knowledge base: the read tells you which process a project will be asked to run, and leaves the finding to the Information Center, the Native American Heritage Commission and the lead agency.

• No cultural read. KILO holds no California cultural knowledge base, no CHRIS site records, no Sacred Lands File results, and no tribal cultural resource data — and it will not build a sensitivity surface from any of them. The cultural line in a California read is a process pointer, and the top line of every read says so.
• No cultural absence, ever. A silent cultural line means KILO did not read that axis; it is never a finding that nothing is there. The same rule holds for every layer: a record that is absent from the layers read is a statement about the layers, not about the ground.
• No CNDDB (it is license-fenced) and no CEQAnet attachment contents. What KILO does not hold, it cannot leak.

Statewide parcels; one county's zoning.

Parcels resolve statewide from the California Statewide Parcels public view, and the seismic, fire, flood and contamination layers are statewide programs. County zoning is read where KILO has verified the county's own service — Riverside County today — and every other county reads as not read, with the county planning department named. A point on a road or right-of-way is read at the point with no parcel record, as it is in Hawaiʻi.
