La ubicación de Waverly, Florida, en el centro de Florida, ligeramente hacia el interior y a aproximadamente 48 millas de la costa más cercana de Tampa Bay, puede disminuir en cierta medida el impacto directo de los huracanes, pero no elimina la posibilidad. Su relativa baja altitud (solo 121 pies sobre el nivel del mar) puede no ser suficiente para mitigar completamente el riesgo de inundaciones, especialmente durante las fuertes lluvias provocadas por los sistemas de tormentas. Además, el pueblo está situado en una región susceptible al trayecto de los huracanes, lo que podría resultar en graves daños por viento, cortes de energía y potencial para tornados. Históricamente, esta área ha sufrido incidentes relacionados con huracanes, por lo tanto, se debe considerar seriamente un plan de evacuación o refugio durante la temporada de huracanes. Durante los últimos 30 años, Waverly ha experimentado algunas tormentas importantes, incluido el huracán Andrew en 1992 y la temporada de huracanes sin precedentes de 2004, donde cuatro grandes huracanes, Charley, Frances, Ivan y Jeanne, cruzaron Florida. Más recientemente, el pueblo fue impactado en gran medida por el huracán Irma en 2017. Estos huracanes han demostrado el potencial de inundaciones, daños estructurales ocasionados por fuertes vientos y prolongados cortes de energía, recordando a los residentes el profundo efecto que los huracanes podrían tener en la región a pesar de estar un poco hacia el interior. Por tanto, si bien su longevidad sin un impacto directo podría proporcionar cierta seguridad, la historia pasada de la ciudad sugiere un riesgo de impactos significativos a causa de eventos de grandes tormentas.

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.
