About Franklin Park.
Franklin Park, situated in Broward County, Florida, is susceptible to potential hurricane impacts, due to its geographical location in the southern part of the state. While Franklin Park is not directly on the coast, it is only approximately 8 miles away from the coast, making it still vulnerable to hurricanes. This proximity means coastal storm surge, heavy rain, and high winds from a hurricane or tropical storm are very real concerns. The town is located at a relatively low elevation, with flood zone areas, making it susceptible to flooding from heavy rainfall associated with hurricanes.
In recent history, Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and Hurricane Irma in 2017 had significant impacts on this area of Florida, including Franklin Park. Both brought strong winds, storm surge, flooding and heavy rain that caused substantial property damage in Franklin Park. Given these historical hurricane experiences, the residents of Franklin Park should be prepared for a variety of possible hurricane impacts, including but not limited to wind damage, flooding, power outages and transportation disruptions. Residents need to be prepared with a disaster plan that includes possible evacuation, because while the town's location isn't directly on the coast, the risk from hurricane-related destructive forces, especially flooding, is high.
