About Aventura.
Aventura, Florida, being situated along the eastern coastline of the state and close to the Atlantic Ocean, makes it particularly vulnerable to hurricanes and floods. Its low elevation and proximity to water bodies adds to the overall hurricane induced flood risk. Moreover, the region's subtropical climate, typified by warm, moist air and sea surface temperatures, gives rise to conditions favorable for the development of such high-impact weather systems. Historically, hurricane and tropical storm induced flooding has been the primary concern for Aventura residents due to its low-lying location. During the hurricane season, heavy rainfall can lead to localized flooding, creating considerable problems in terms of road and facility accessibility, property damage and public safety. Just 30 years ago, Hurricane Andrew made landfall near Aventura as a Category 5 storm causing devastating damage. More recently, in 2017, Hurricane Irma passed near the region resulting in strong winds, heavy rains, and flooding. Beyond exposure to hurricane winds, storm surge and flooding are other severe threats Aventura faces. Additionally, hurricanes often cause power outages, impacting the ability of residents to access information and limiting the capacity for cooling in the subtropical climate. Finally, the disruption to water and sewage services can engender significant public health threats. These factors necessitate thorough planning on both a municipal and individual level to properly prepare for future hurricanes.
