Leesburg, Florida, situada en la Florida Central y a aproximadamente 50 millas tanto del Océano Atlántico como del Golfo de México, está frecuentemente expuesta a amenazas de huracanes, especialmente durante la temporada de huracanes de junio a noviembre. Aunque la ciudad no está ubicada directamente en la costa, la proximidad a ambos cuerpos de agua la hace susceptible a los impactos indirectos de los huracanes, incluyendo altas velocidades del viento, tornados y fuertes lluvias, las cuales pueden provocar condiciones de inundación debido a la prolongada precipitación asociada con sistemas tropicales lentos o estancados. A pesar de estar ubicada en el interior y tener una elevación superior comparada a las ciudades costeras, la región aún enfrenta el riesgo de inundaciones debido a sus áreas bajas y a sus numerosos lagos. Los datos históricos también indican un nivel significativo de amenaza. Uno de los huracanes más importantes, el Huracán Irma en 2017, causó daños extensos en Leesburg, particularmente por los vientos intensos y las fuertes lluvias que llevaron a las inundaciones. Anteriormente, en 2004, los Huracanes Charley, Frances y Jeanne también impactaron fuertemente a Leesburg con vientos fuertes que causaron daños estructurales importantes y lluvias intensas que llevaron a extensas inundaciones. La infraestructura de la ciudad, las redes viales y los hábitats naturales a menudo enfrentan una tensión significativa durante tales eventos. Por lo tanto, los residentes deben permanecer preparados para incluso amenazas indirectas de huracanes que pueden conllevar a considerables cantidades de lluvia y posibles inundaciones, además de velocidades de viento significativas y la posibilidad de tornados.

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.
