Avon Park, Florida, a pesar de estar ubicado aproximadamente a 80 millas tierra adentro, ciertamente no está aislado de las amenazas de huracanes. Estar en el interior proporciona a Avon Park protección contra las marejadas ciclónicas que generalmente impactan las áreas costeras. Sin embargo, las intensas lluvias, los fuertes vientos y los tornados asociados con los huracanes son amenazas prevalentes, particularmente si una tormenta se mueve a través del estado o gira desde el Golfo. El pueblo, situado a una elevación relativamente baja de 121 pies, también tiene un riesgo moderado de inundaciones de agua dulce debido a las lluvias excesivas debido a extensas áreas de baja altura. Históricamente, Avon Park ha experimentado los impactos de varios huracanes. En 2004, Avon Park vivió su temporada de huracanes más destructiva con la ocurrencia de tres grandes huracanes: Charley, Frances y Jeanne, todos en un lapso de seis semanas. Estos huracanes causaron daños significativos debido a los fuertes vientos e inundaciones. Más recientemente, en 2017, el huracán Irma impactó el área con vientos poderosos y fuertes lluvias, dañando la infraestructura y causando cortes de energía generalizados. Dada la vulnerabilidad de Avon Park a las inundaciones de agua dulce, cualquier huracán importante que se estanque sobre la cabeza puede llevar a impactos significativos de inundaciones. Por lo tanto, las preparaciones en Avon Park para las tormentas tropicales y los huracanes deben considerar los riesgos e impactos asociados con los vientos fuertes, las fuertes lluvias que conducen a inundaciones en el interior y los tornados.

Evacuation zones are drawn using elevation, historical surge data, and flood models so that the most vulnerable areas are identified in advance.

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.
