North Miami, Florida, debido a su ubicación costera directa y su nivel de elevación extremadamente bajo (la elevación promedio en Miami es de solo alrededor de 6 pies), está en una alta amenaza potencial de huracanes y sus impactos relacionados como la marejada ciclónica, los fuertes vientos y las inundaciones. La marejada ciclónica amenaza con inundar secciones enteras de Miami, y las viviendas, negocios y carreteras de baja altura son particularmente vulnerables. También puede producirse inundaciones repentinas, desencadenadas por eventos de lluvia significativos que sobrepasan el sistema de drenaje del área. Incluso sin una marejada ciclónica, la ciudad es propensa a inundaciones debido al aumento del nivel del mar y el incremento de eventos de lluvia, ambos conectados con el cambio climático. En cuanto a los huracanes y las inundaciones históricas de los últimos 30 años, North Miami fue afectada principalmente por varios; sin embargo, el más significativo sería el huracán Andrew en 1992, que fue un huracán de categoría 5 que causó una destrucción masiva. Después de eso, huracanes como Wilma (2005) e Irma (2017) dejaron impactos considerables. Irma, aunque sólo tocó tierra como un huracán de categoría 4, causó uno de los apagones más grandes en la historia de los Estados Unidos en Miami y resultó en inundaciones y daños significativos por el viento. La gran cantidad de construcciones antiguas en Miami, no construidas de acuerdo a los códigos de construcción más nuevos y estrictos, son particularmente vulnerables a los daños por el viento. Como tal, las inspecciones frecuentes y las actualizaciones de edificios e infraestructuras, especialmente en sectores comunitarios más antiguos, son cruciales para mitigar los daños causados por los huracanes.

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.
