Charlotte Park, Florida, being in close proximity to the coast, is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of hurricanes, including high winds, heavy rain, and storm surge flooding. The town's low elevation heightens this risk, as it allows for easy inundation by storm waters. Flooding is a significant concern due to this geographical feature, and even minor hurricanes can pose major flood risks. The town's flat topography and local waterways further increase this flood risk, particularly for areas adjacent to these waterways or in low-lying zones. Hurricane-induced storms can also cause power outages and damage to infrastructure, impacting services and mobility. Over the last 30 years, Charlotte Park has experienced the impacts of several major hurricanes such as Charley (2004) and Irma (2017). Hurricane Charley, a category 4 storm, resulted in widespread damage due to strong winds and flooding. More recently, Hurricane Irma also caused significant flooding and property damage. Even though hurricane mitigation measures have improved with time, these historical events emphasize the need for continued readiness to face potential hurricane threats. Residents should stay up-to-date with hurricane and flooding forecasts, and maintain emergency plans and supplies in case of such events.
