Medulla, Florida, situada a unas 50 millas tierra adentro de la costa del Golfo, es moderadamente susceptible a los huracanes. Aunque su distancia de la costa suele significar que la intensidad del huracán puede disminuir antes de llegar a Medulla, de ninguna manera excluye a la zona de experimentar vientos destructivos, lluvias torrenciales o tornados, que a menudo son subproductos de los sistemas de huracanes. La elevación del pueblo es razonablemente plana, alrededor de 130-140 pies sobre el nivel del mar, por lo cual existe un riesgo favorable de inundaciones durante los episodios de fuertes lluvias. La infraestructura de Medulla puede sobrecargarse bajo estas condiciones, con cortes de energía consecuentes y daño a estructuras desprotegidas o vulnerables. En los últimos 30 años, Medulla ha sido afectada por algunos ciclones tropicales importantes. Notablemente, en 2004, la ciudad fue impactada por los huracanes Charley, Frances y Jeanne, y en 2017 por el huracán Irma. Estos huracanes trajeron lluvias significativas que llevaron a inundaciones, y los vientos de fuerza de vendaval causaron daños a la propiedad. Los efectos más severos fueron del huracán Irma, que causó cortes de energía generalizados y varios días de interrupciones. Curiosamente, la ubicación central de Medulla en el estado significa que las tormentas basadas en el Atlántico aún pueden impactar la región, requiriendo que los residentes y las autoridades estén adecuadamente preparados para posibles amenazas de huracanes tanto de la costa este como oeste.

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.
The primary evacuation zone shown at the top of this page is derived from the same type of data that state and local emergency managers use.
