Palmetto Estates, located in Miami-Dade county, Florida is within close proximity to the coast and has a history of tropical storm activity. As a result, there is a substantial risk of hurricane impacts, likely involving high wind speeds, storm surges, and excessively heavy rainfall. Such weather conditions can lead to property damage and flooding, particularly in low-lying areas. The town's elevation is relatively low, varying from 3 to 14 feet, which increases its vulnerability to flooding, especially when combined with storm surge related to hurricanes. Over the last 30 years, Palmetto Estates has been in the potential path of multiple major hurricanes including Andrew in 1992 and Irma in 2017. Hurricane Andrew decimated much of Miami-Dade county with winds up to 165 mph and a storm surge that raised sea levels over 16 feet in some locations. Similarly, Irma led to widespread damage due to high winds and extensive coastal flooding. Based on this history, residents should be prepared with an emergency plan and supplies, while city planners should focus on implementing and maintaining hurricane-resistant infrastructure and effective flood management systems.
