Margate, en el condado de Broward, Florida, está situado en el interior de la costa este, a unas 13 millas del océano Atlántico. Esto lo mantiene algo protegido de los impactos directos de los huracanes en comparación con las ciudades costeras. Sin embargo, la ciudad sigue estando dentro de una zona vulnerable a los posibles impactos de los huracanes debido a su topografía relativamente plana y baja elevación, así como la presencia generalizada de canales y cuerpos de agua que pueden contribuir significativamente a los eventos de inundaciones locales. Aparte de su cercanía a la costa, la exposición de Margate a los huracanes puede llevar a daños por vientos fuertes, lluvias torrenciales que causan inundaciones repentinas y posibles cortes de energía. Mirando hacia atrás durante las últimas tres décadas, Margate ha sido afectada por algunos huracanes poderosos. En 1992, el Huracán Andrew de categoría 5, uno de los huracanes más destructivos en la historia de los Estados Unidos, causó daños extensos en el sur de Florida. A pesar de la ubicación interior de Margate, el área todavía experimentó fuertes ráfagas de viento y fuertes lluvias. En 2005, la ciudad fue afectada por el huracán Wilma, una tormenta de categoría 3, que causó graves daños debido al viento y las inundaciones. En los últimos años, el potencial de inundación ha aumentado debido a huracanes más frecuentes e intensos posiblemente vinculados al cambio climático. Por lo tanto, la preparación para los huracanes debería implicar la evaluación del riesgo individual de inundación, la planificación de una posible evacuación y la protección de las propiedades contra los daños causados por el viento. Cada temporada de huracanes, los residentes deben prepararse para lo peor, en caso de que un huracán mayor haga su entrada por la costa de Florida.

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.
