What "no data" means in your results

Why some hazards show "no data" and what it means for your assessment.

Written by Anna Tiril Uggerud

What and why

When screening a property, you may see "no data" for one or more hazards. This is not a risk assessment. It means the external data source does not have coverage for that specific hazard at that location.

How it works

Telescope uses data from public sources like NVE, DSB, Kartverket, and others. Each source covers different hazards, geographic areas, and levels of detail. When a source hasn't mapped a particular hazard for the area where the property is located, we show "no data" rather than making an assumption.

This can happen for several reasons:

  • The data source hasn't completed mapping for that region yet

  • The hazard type isn't mapped at the resolution needed for property-level assessment

  • The data source covers a limited geographic area (for example, flood maps may not cover all smaller rivers)

Good to know

"No data" does not mean "no risk." It means we can't assess the exposure based on currently available data. If you're assessing a property and see "no data" for a hazard you're concerned about, consider consulting local sources or municipality hazard maps for additional information.

We're continuously expanding our data coverage. Hazards that show "no data" today may have coverage in future updates as new data becomes available from the authorities.
