About DeBary.
DeBary, Florida, is situated in Volusia County, approximately 25 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean coastline. While its inland location provides a buffer reducing threats from storm surges, DeBary's close proximity to St. Johns River and several lakes increase its risk for freshwater flooding during heavy rainfall events commonly associated with tropical storms and hurricanes. Furthermore, the city has relatively low elevation, barely exceeding 20 feet at the highest point, which exacerbates its susceptibility to flood risks. Looking at the city's past, it has been impacted by several major hurricanes over the last 30 years. Most notably, hurricanes Irma in 2017 and Charley in 2004 both led to significant flood damage in DeBary, due to torrential rainfall and high winds. Not only did these storms cause significant property damage, but they disrupted local infrastructure, leading to power outages, road blockages, and other complications. Given this history and DeBary's geographical considerations, residents should maintain thorough hurricane preparedness strategies and stay updated on upcoming weather events.
