Bartow, Florida, aunque no es una ciudad costera, sigue siendo susceptible a los posibles efectos de los huracanes debido a su proximidad relativa tanto al Golfo de México como al Océano Atlántico. Incluso si un huracán no toca tierra directamente cerca de Bartow, las poderosas tormentas aún pueden causar daños significativos por el viento y contribuir a fuertes lluvias en la zona. La precipitación, a su vez, puede llevar a inundaciones localizadas, particularmente como Bartow se encuentra en la región de la meseta de Florida, y tiene una altitud relativamente baja a 121 pies sobre el nivel del mar. Las estructuras en Bartow deben, por lo tanto, ser capaces de resistir un estrés considerable por el viento, mientras que los individuos y organizaciones deben tomar provisiones para las inundaciones. La historia de huracanes de Bartow corrobora esta amenaza. En 2004, por ejemplo, el huracán Charley pasó directamente por Bartow como una tormenta de categoría 2, causando daños considerables a la propiedad. Otro incidente importante en los últimos 30 años es el daño causado por la Tormenta del Siglo de 1993 (también conocida como la 'Superstorm 93'), que aunque no fue un huracán, trajo graves daños por el viento e inundaciones en la mayor parte de Florida. Aunque históricamente, Bartow no lleva un gran riesgo de inundaciones severas comparables a las regiones costeras, estos incidentes pasados indican la necesidad de conciencia sobre los impactos potenciales asociados con los huracanes, tormentas tropicales e incluso eventos climáticos extratropicales. Independientemente de la ubicación interior de Bartow, la ciudad no es inmune a los posibles impactos destructivos de los huracanes y otras tormentas importantes.

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.
The primary evacuation zone shown at the top of this page is derived from the same type of data that state and local emergency managers use.
