Manalapan, Florida, is a coastal community and hence directly exposed to potential hurricanes and storm threats, posing immediate and significant risk. The town's extremely close proximity to the coast, with no elevation to speak of, leaves it incredibly vulnerable to storm surges, high winds and heavy rain, all frequent constituents of hurricanes. Furthermore, it also heightens the town's risk from potential flooding - the tropical storm-driven rain bands can cause a rapid rise in sea levels and, combined with the topography of the area, the resulting runoff can cause significant inland flooding. Over the past three decades, Manalapan has seen significant hurricanes and storms that have caused major damages. For instance, in 2005, Hurricane Wilma devastated the region causing widespread flooding and property damage. Hurricane Frances and Jeanne in 2004 also caused extensive property damages associated with storm surge, wind, and torrential rainfall. Therefore, it is crucial for residents and local authorities in Manalapan to implement and adhere to strict building protocols, and to prepare an efficient and effective disaster management strategy for potential hurricane threats. Proactive evacuation plans and robust communication channels can help minimize risks to the residents of Manalapan.
