Heritage Bay, Florida, is located relatively close to the Southwestern Florida coast; hence it inherently poses high risk from potential hurricanes. The community's geography with lower elevations amplifies the risk of hurricane inundation surge, especially for waterfront properties and lower geographic areas in the community. Historically, flood risk has been a prevalent hazard due to the close proximity to the Everglades and its numerous water inlets and outlets. While there is a manageability to this through local infrastructure and drainage systems, a significant rain event or hurricane can quickly become problematic. In the last 30 years, Heritage Bay has experienced several major hurricanes and floods that have caused substantial damage. In 2004, Hurricane Charley caused significant flood and wind damage in the region, followed by Hurricanes Wilma in 2005 and Irma in 2017. These storms have demonstrated the seriousness of potential danger and the importance of preparedness and awareness during hurricane season. Therefore, consideration of evacuation measures, careful monitoring of flood-prone areas, and securing properties from wind-borne debris during a significant storm are crucial to reducing risks and keeping the community safe.
