Clarksville northwest of Nashville faces moderate tornado and flooding risk from the Cumberland and Red Rivers. The city is home to Fort Campbell straddling the Tennessee-Kentucky border — one of the largest military installations in the United States and home to the 101st Airborne Division. The March 2020 tornado that struck Nashville also affected Clarksville communities. Fort Campbell adds major military emergency planning considerations to the region.
