Lutz es una localidad relativamente interior en Florida que está situada a unas 15 millas al norte-noroeste de Tampa. Esta distancia de la costa aporta algún nivel de protección contra el impacto directo de los huracanes, sin embargo, eso no hace que Lutz sea inmune a las severas consecuencias del clima relacionadas con los huracanes. Los huracanes generan una serie de amenazas, incluyendo daños directos por el viento, marejadas ciclónicas y fuertes lluvias que llevan a inundaciones. La elevación de la localidad, con la mayoría de sus partes por debajo de los 100 pies sobre el nivel del mar, combinada con lluvias continuas y pesadas, aumenta el riesgo de inundaciones interiores incluso sin una marejada ciclónica directa. La combinación de fuertes lluvias y altos vientos de un huracán todavía puede causar daños significativos a la propiedad y poner en peligro vidas. Revisando patrones históricos, varias tormentas considerables han impactado a Lutz en los últimos 30 años. Por ejemplo, durante la temporada de huracanes de 2004, Lutz fue azotada por una serie de tormentas incluyendo los huracanes Charley, Frances y Jeanne causando daños significativos a las propiedades y a la vegetación. Más recientemente en 2017, el huracán Irma, un huracán de categoría 4 al tocar tierra en Florida, produjo fuertes lluvias causando inundaciones significantes, vientos increíblemente fuertes y cortes de energía generalizados en Lutz. Por lo tanto, aunque la posición interior de Lutz puede protegerla en cierto modo de los impactos de los huracanes y las marejadas ciclónicas directas, su vulnerabilidad a las lluvias inducidas por huracanes y su potencial para una consecuente inundación sigue siendo significativo. Los huracanes importantes, incluso si tocan tierra a varias millas de distancia, todavía pueden tener un impacto considerable en la localidad, lo que indica que la preparación para huracanes en esta área es primordial.

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. If you are in a higher-risk zone, having an evacuation plan and a go-kit ready can save critical time when an order is issued. 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.
