Jasmine Estates is located on the Gulf Coast side of Florida, which puts the town at an extended threat for landfalling hurricanes compared to inland locations. Due to its relatively close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, it could be significantly impacted by storm surge and heavy rain should a hurricane approach, both of which are primary sources of flood damage. Considering the town's minimal elevation, it is especially at risk for flooding, with even tropical storm systems having the potential to cause substantial water damage. This being said, the town's infrastructure, including its wastewater and drainage systems, would need to accommodate such conditions to minimize potential flood risks. Over the past 30 years, several major hurricanes and tropical storms have affected Jasmine Estates. Most notably, Hurricane Hermine in 2016 represented the first hurricane to make landfall in Florida since 2005. The storm resulted in power outages, heavy rains, and flooding in Jasmine Estates. There was also significant damage from Hurricane Irma in 2017, which despite its landfall on the peninsula's opposite side, caused statewide impacts including storm surge, wind damage, and extensive flooding in Jasmine Estates. These past instances underline the importance of effective disaster preparedness and efficient response mechanisms. History and geography combine to suggest that hurricane threats to Jasmine Estates are not just probable, but inevitable.
