The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 26 fires within 5 miles of Port Homer between 1994 and 2018, burning about 57 acres in total. None started naturally. 6 were recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Yellow Creek
• Stratton
• Hammondsville
• Cream City
• Empire
• Irondale

Every fire recorded in Jefferson County

Museums hold 220 specimens collected within 10 miles of Port Homer between 1878 and 1973: 136 Animalia, 60 Plantae, 24 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A.W. Cusick, Acker, G., Allison W. Cusick and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

The federal mineral resources record lists 11 workings within 5 miles of Port Homer: 9 past producers, 2 producers. 2 still produce.

Every working recorded in Jefferson County

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1063430. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
