About Pineland.
Pineland, Florida, is situated on Pine Island, a barrier island along the Gulf coast of Florida. This location directly along the Gulf makes it particularly vulnerable to hurricane threats and their associated impacts, including storm surge, heavy rain, and high winds. The town's low elevation (less than 10 feet above sea level in most areas) enhances its risk for flooding during hurricanes as storm surge can easily inundate low-lying areas. Historically, this region has had several flood events, not only from storm surge but also from heavy rainfall associated with tropical systems. Widespread power outages can also be a concern with the high winds that often accompany hurricanes.
Over the past 30 years, Pineland and the greater Pine Island area have been affected by several major hurricanes. Hurricane Charley in 2004 was particularly notable, making landfall as a Category 4 hurricane and causing substantial wind damage and storm surge flooding. In 2017, Hurricane Irma caused widespread flooding and damage across the island. Due to this history and its geographical attributes, residents of Pineland should always carefully monitor the progress of any approaching tropical systems and heed evacuation orders when they are given. Their community's direct coastal position and low-lying elevation make it imperative for residents to have an emergency hurricane plan in place.
