DeLand Southwest, Florida, a pesar de estar a unas 20 millas tierra adentro desde la costa atlántica, sigue siendo susceptible a los impactos de los huracanes y las tormentas tropicales. Al ser bastante plano y de baja altitud con una elevación promedio de poco más del nivel del mar, el área es propensa a las inundaciones debido a las marejadas ciclónicas y las fuertes lluvias, especialmente en los vecindarios de baja altitud cerca del Lago Beresford y el río St. Johns. Durante las últimas tres décadas, la ciudad ha experimentado un clima severo debido a varios ciclones tropicales. Notablemente, sintió los efectos del huracán Charley en 2004, que causó extensos daños por viento, fuertes lluvias e inundaciones. En 2017, el huracán Irma causó pérdidas significativas en esta área debido a los vientos e inundaciones. Los impactos potenciales de los huracanes en DeLand Southwest, Florida, van más allá de las inundaciones. Los fuertes vientos de estas tormentas pueden causar la caída de líneas eléctricas y daños a edificios y residencias, particularmente aquellos que son más antiguos o no están construidos de acuerdo con los estándares actuales de resistencia al viento. Los cortes prolongados de energía también podrían afectar la economía local y las condiciones de vida de los residentes, especialmente aquellos que dependen de la electricidad para el equipo médico. También hay varias comunidades de casas móviles en la ciudad, que son notablemente vulnerables a los vientos de los huracanes. Debido a su rica historia, la ciudad alberga muchos sitios patrimoniales, que podrían estar en riesgo de destrucción. Por lo tanto, los residentes y las partes interesadas deben evaluar los planes de seguridad personal y tomar medidas preventivas, particularmente durante la típica temporada de huracanes de junio a noviembre.

Storm surge—water driven ashore by a hurricane—is one of the greatest threats to life and property in coastal and low-lying areas. Evacuation zones are drawn using elevation, historical surge data, and flood models so that the most vulnerable areas are identified in advance.

This hurricane evacuation zone lookup gives you a clear starting point so you can plan ahead and stay informed.
Hurricane preparedness goes beyond knowing your zone. It includes having an evacuation route, a family communication plan, emergency supplies (water, food, medications, important documents), and a plan for pets. The hurricane supplies list on this page is a good basis for a go-kit. We also recommend signing up for local emergency alerts and following your state and county emergency management offices for the latest evacuation zone information and orders.
