About Pelican Marsh.
Pelican Marsh, Florida, being a coastal community in the southwestern part of the state, is highly vulnerable to hurricanes. In terms of geographical location, it is situated less than 2 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, which makes it easily susceptible to hurricanes' wind and storm surge impacts. The town's elevation is quite low, with most parts at or below 10 feet above sea level, which further enhances the flood risk during a storm surge or heavy rainfall event.
Over the past 30 years, Pelican Marsh has experienced several notable storms, specifically Hurricane Irma in 2017, which caused significant flooding and property damage in the area. Another noteworthy event was Hurricane Wilma in 2005 that passed directly over the Naples area, causing severe damage. Considering the historical flood risk, the town suffers from periodic flood problems even from seasonal rainstorms, largely due to its low-lying topography and heavy development. The repeated hurricane impacts demonstrate that hurricane preparedness and flood mitigation are emotionally and economically serious considerations for the residents of Pelican Marsh.
