Wimauma, aunque está ubicada a unas 20 millas tierra adentro de la Costa del Golfo, no está completamente a salvo de las amenazas que suponen los huracanes. Aunque las tormentas pueden disminuir en intensidad para cuando alcanzan tales distancias, el riesgo de lluvias intensas, vientos de alta velocidad y las inundaciones resultantes aún plantean preocupaciones significativas. Las características topográficas de Wimauma, con sus áreas bajas y una elevación media de solo 30 pies sobre el nivel del mar, aumentan su propensión a las inundaciones durante los eventos de lluvias intensas que son típicos de los huracanes. Los datos históricos de inundaciones corroboran esta evaluación, ya que Wimauma ha visto eventos de inundación repetidos, especialmente a raíz de los huracanes. En los últimos 30 años, Wimauma ha experimentado los impactos de varios huracanes importantes. Por ejemplo, sufrió un impacto severo del Huracán Irma en 2017 que causó inundaciones y daños a la propiedad. En 2004, el Huracán Charlie causó daños considerables en Wimauma, a pesar de su intensidad algo reducida al llegar a esta ciudad del interior. Además, con las tendencias crecientes de aumento de la intensidad de los huracanes vinculados al cambio climático, los futuros huracanes pueden representar incluso mayores riesgos. Por lo tanto, se insta a los residentes a estar bien preparados y atender las advertencias de evacuación cuando se pronostica que los huracanes afectarán a la región.

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.
