San Carlos Park, Florida, ubicado en el condado de Lee, presenta un riesgo significativo ante posibles impactos de huracanes. Al estar aproximadamente a 15 o 20 millas de la costa, la comunidad no afronta directamente la primera ola de tormenta que experimentan las áreas costeras. Sin embargo, sigue estando lo suficientemente cerca como para estar en riesgo por los torbellinos generados por los huracanes. Además, la ciudad no es inmune a los peligros de los niveles crecientes de agua teniendo en cuenta que su elevación varía desde 10 pies hasta 30 pies sobre el nivel del mar y su terreno predominante es plano, lo cual puede causar que el agua se acumule, creando inundaciones repentinas. Históricamente, los grandes huracanes han causado estragos en San Carlos Park. El paso de los huracanes Charley en 2004 e Irma en 2017 provocó una notable marejada ciclónica, fuertes lluvias y vientos de alta velocidad que resultaron en daños estructurales generalizados e inundaciones significativas en la región. Específicamente, durante Irma, San Carlos Park estuvo entre las áreas que soportaron cortes de energía significativos, considerables daños por inundación en las viviendas y múltiples árboles caídos debido a los fuertes vientos. Mientras tanto, la proximidad de la ciudad a cuerpos de agua como el Canal de Diez Millas aumenta el riesgo de inundación, especialmente teniendo en cuenta la cantidad significativa de lluvia que dejan los huracanes. Por lo tanto, al prepararse para un huracán, la gente en la ciudad debe considerar las amenazas de viento fuerte, posibles inundaciones e interrupciones en los servicios públicos. Los registros históricos confirman la vulnerabilidad de la ciudad a la marejada ciclónica, vientos de alta intensidad, fuertes precipitaciones e inundaciones en tierra provenientes de sistemas tropicales.

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.
