About Cocoa.
Cocoa, Florida, near the Atlantic coast is situated in a highly hurricane-prone area. Its geographical location means that the town is at significant risk of both direct hurricane strikes and associated impacts, such as flooding, high winds, and storm surges. Given that Cocoa is relatively flat, and much of it is at or below sea level, the risk of floods is prevalent especially during the hurricane season. Its close proximity to the Indian River and the Banana River also increases the risk for major flooding during periods of heavy rainfall, which is commonly associated with hurricanes.
Over the last three decades, Cocoa has experienced several major hurricanes and floods. Notably, Hurricane Floyd in 1999 prompted mandatory evacuations along the coastline, including Cocoa. More recently, Hurricane Irma in 2017 caused significant flood damage and power outages throughout the town, demonstrating the potential severity of hurricane impact in this locale. Another noteworthy storm was Hurricane Matthew in 2016, although it largely spared Cocoa, it served as a reminder of the town's vulnerability. Therefore, it’s essential for Cocoa residents to prepare for hurricane season by developing a disaster plan, securing their homes, and always heeding local authorities' warnings and evacuation orders.
