Cedar Key, Florida, located directly on the Gulf Coast, faces significant risk during a hurricane season. Considering its geographical location and minimal elevation, it is particularly exposed to storm surge and coastal flooding. These variables, coupled with the potential for high wind speeds and torrential rainfall, position Cedar Key as a highly vulnerable location for extreme weather impacts. Historically, the area prone to tidal flooding and can face significant damage to infrastructure, specifically buildings and roads, during a significant storm surge event. Additional considerations include the potential displacement of residents and impacts on local wildlife habitats. Over the past three decades, Cedar Key has been impacted by a number of major hurricanes and floods. One of the most notable is Hurricane Hermine in 2016, which was the first hurricane to make landfall in Florida since 2005. Hermine brought torrential rain, causing significant flooding and wind damage in Cedar Key. Recently, in 2020, Hurricane Eta made a close approach, inducing storm surge and flooding, which lead to substantial property damage. Continuous updates to emergency plan and evacuation strategies, as well as investment in flood protection infrastructure, are critical for the protection and resilience of Cedar Key in the face of potential hurricanes and floods.
