Great Falls in north-central Montana faces wildfire risk from surrounding grasslands and forests combined with severe winter storm vulnerability. Malmstrom Air Force Base adjacent to the city is one of three remaining ICBM bases in the United States making it a strategically significant location for national security. The Missouri River creates flooding risk. Montana's extreme winter weather can isolate rural communities for extended periods and create dangerous blizzard conditions.
