Beverly Beach, Florida, is located directly on the eastern coastline of the state, placing it in highly vulnerable position for experiencing destructive impacts from hurricanes. The town is at sea level, increasing its risk of storm surge-related flooding during a hurricane event. Historical data indicates reoccurring flood events for properties located within this town, which tend to occur annually during the hurricane season. Moreover, the threat of high-speed winds causing structural damage and power outages is also a major concern given the area's exposure to the Atlantic Ocean. Over the last 30 years, several significant hurricanes have affected Beverly Beach, including Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Irma the following year. Both storms brought destructive winds and storm surge flooding to the area. Hurricane Dorian in 2019 also posed a significant threat, although it largely spared the area with its offshore track. These hurricanes highlight the city's vulnerability to coastal storms, and residents should very seriously consider storm readiness preparations and evacuation during hurricane events.
