Edgewater, Florida, is situated on the east coast of central Florida, making it particularly vulnerable to potential hurricane impacts. Its geographic location gives it a considerable risk of storm surges from the Atlantic Ocean, especially during Category 3 or higher hurricanes. As a relatively low-lying area, it has also the potential for significant flooding. Edgewater is part of an extensive flood zone defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), making flood damage a serious consideration during the hurricane season. Edgewater’s residential and commercial areas could potentially suffer from high winds and heavy rain, which can result in power outages, damage to structures, and fallen trees. Historically, Edgewater has been impacted by several major storms. Hurricane Floyd in 1999, Hurricane Frances in 2004, Hurricane Jeanne in 2004, and Hurricane Irma in 2017 were all impactful events in the town's recent history. The repeated hits from hurricanes and tropical storms have created a pattern of flood-related issues such as river and coastal flooding. Therefore, when hurricane threats are projected, local residents should be ready for potential evacuations and make preparations to secure their properties. Mitigation measures such as flood insurance are highly advised, given the town's predisposition to such natural disasters.
