Redington Beach, located directly on the Gulf Coast of Florida, is at notable risk for hurricane impacts due to its coastal position and flat coastal geography. The town's low elevation, stretching just a few feet above sea level in most areas, increases vulnerability to hazards such as storm surges and flooding, particularly from increased rainfall during a hurricane. Local infrastructure may also be endangered during high wind conditions, with potential for significant damage to homes, businesses, and utilities. It should be noted that evacuation could be required in the event of a significant hurricane, adding another layer of consideration for the residents and the municipality. Historically, Redington Beach has felt the effects of several major storms. Notably, in 2004 when Hurricane Charley, although a Category 4 hurricane, veered away, impacts were still felt in terms of minor damage and power outages. In 2005, Hurricane Wilma also affected the area with significant storm surge leading to flooding, property damage and beach erosion. Additionally, the more recent Hurricane Irma in 2017 also caused damaging flood waters to penetrate many homes, confirming Redington Beach's ongoing vulnerability to significant storm activity. Preparations for future storms should include robust plans for potential evacuations, infrastructure fortification, and recovery strategies.
