Wabasso Beach, Florida, due to its coastal location, is inherently at high risk for hurricane impacts. Its geographical location puts it directly in the path of potential Atlantic storm systems, frequently resulting in tropical storm and hurricane warnings in the region. Given that the town is located directly on the coast, the elevation is relatively low, which significantly increases vulnerability to storm surges and flooding. Wind damage is also another concerning factor as hurricanes can often bring strong winds in excess of 74 mph that may cause immense damage to buildings, boats, and other infrastructures. Speaking historically, the region has been affected by numerous storm systems. Notably, in 2004, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne hit the area causing considerable damage. It was followed by the impact from Hurricane Wilma in 2005. More recently in 2017, Hurricane Irma passed close to Wabasso Beach, causing widespread destruction and flooding. The consistent risk factors in the form of hurricane impact and flooding and historical weather events underline the need for hurricane readiness plans, storm-proof construction and adequate insurance coverage for residents in Wabasso Beach.
