Lehigh Acres, Florida, ubicada tierra adentro desde la Costa del Golfo y con una elevación relativamente baja, está particularmente expuesta a los riesgos de vientos sostenidos, fuertes lluvias y posibles eventos de inundaciones repentinas vinculados a tormentas tropicales y huracanes. La ciudad, aunque no está directamente adyacente a la costa, todavía puede ser significativamente afectada por sistemas de ciclones tropicales con un amplio campo de influencia. El riesgo de inundación histórico es alto debido a su elevación, terreno predominantemente llano, y sus pantanos circundantes y cuerpos de agua pantanosos que podrían contribuir a aumentar las aguas de inundación. La capacidad y condición del sistema de drenaje interno de Lehigh Acres potencialmente pueden exacerbar los desafíos de gestión de aguas pluviales durante el clima severo. La ciudad ha estado en el camino de algunos huracanes mayores en los últimos 30 años, siendo el Huracán Irma en 2017 el más reciente. Este huracán causó daños significativos en Lehigh Acres, con muchas viviendas y negocios afectados por las inundaciones y los daños causados por el viento. De manera similar en 2004, el Huracán Charley, una tormenta de categoría cuatro, desató fuertes lluvias en la ciudad que llevaron a inundaciones generalizadas. Es importante también mencionar las tormentas tropicales, como la Tormenta Tropical Fay en 2008, que causó extensas inundaciones y daños a la propiedad en el área. Dada esta historia y los posibles impactos de tormentas, los esfuerzos de mitigación y preparación deben considerar tanto las inundaciones inducidas por la lluvia como los daños causados por el viento, y planificar acciones de respuesta en consecuencia.

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.
