Seminole Manor in Florida is at risk from the impacts of hurricanes and tropical storms due to its location in Palm Beach County, which is near the Atlantic coastline. The region's low elevation increases its susceptibility to widespread flooding from storm surge, heavy rains, and high winds linked to hurricanes. While the community is not directly on the coast, it's close enough to the ocean to be significantly impacted. Hurricanes often bring torrential rainfall, resulting in flash flooding events that can cause large-scale property damage. Additional impacts can include power outages, wind damage, and the loss of communication and transportation infrastructure due to severe weather conditions.

Over the past 30 years, Seminole Manor experienced a few notable hurricane events. Hurricane Wilma in 2005 was amongst the most formidable, with wide-spread wind damage and power outages. More recently, in 2017, Hurricane Irma brought dangerous storm surge to Palm Beach County, highlighting the potential risks. The frequency and intensity of these events highlight the critical need for preparedness in order to reduce potential hazards to citizens and their properties. Future conditions influenced by climate change also suggest an increase in the threat of high-intensity hurricanes, providing further motivation for community-wide storm resiliency planning and initiatives.
