About Marco Island.
Marco Island, Florida, presents a serious vulnerability to hurricane threats due to its geographical position along the Gulf Coast. Being an island, it's exposed to potential storm surges and winds from any direction. The entire area of Marco Island is near sea level, hence it is at an increased risk for flooding during hurricanes and tropical storms. These storms often bring substantial rainfall, resulting in both flash flooding and longer-term flood hazards. As a coastal barrier island, Marco Island can expect direct strikes from hurricanes and tropical storms and should be prepared for extreme wind damage, heavy rainfall, and severe storm surges.
The town has been in the direct path of several major hurricanes in the past. One of the most recent notable hurricanes to impact Marco Island was Hurricane Irma in September 2017. Irma was a Category 3 at landfall and it caused significant wind and flood damage. Another notable hurricane was Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which although did not make landfall near Marco Island, did have severe impacts across South Florida. The town has also experienced numerous smaller scale tropical storms and hurricanes over the years. Given the historic data and the geographical factors, Marco Island must adopt robust hurricane preparation and response measures.
