South Palm Beach, Florida, faces a high hurricane threat due to its direct coastal location along the Atlantic Ocean. The town's elevation is relatively low with its highest point only about 10 feet above sea level, contributing significantly to its risk of flooding from storm surge during hurricanes. Historically, South Palm Beach has experienced multiple flood events, largely due to hurricanes and tropical storms, as the town's unique position between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean makes it vulnerable from surge and heavy rainfall. The area's infrastructure, including transportation, communications, and utilities, might also be severely impacted due to its geographically designated though potentially hard-hit zone. Over the past 30 years, South Palm Beach has seen some devastating storm impacts. Notably, in 1992, Hurricane Andrew, one of the most destructive hurricanes in U.S. history, caused significant damage to South Florida. Additionally, hurricane Wilma in 2005 and Irma in 2017 equally disrupted life in South Palm Beach due to flooding and wind damage. Furthermore, the escalation of climate change and sea-level rise presents an increased flood risk for the area moving forward. The town's residents and public officials should continually work on hurricane preparedness and recovery plans to mitigate the impact of these dangerous storms given that South Palm Beach will likely continue to be in the pathway of major Atlantic hurricanes.
