West Park, Florida, located in Broward County, is vulnerable to the impacts of a hurricane due to its close proximity to the Florida coastline. While the average elevation of West Park is about 10 feet above sea level, which helps to mitigate some of the impact from sea level rise, the area's low-lying topography makes it susceptible to storm surge, particularly from a strong hurricane. Historically, rainfall from hurricanes and their remnants has posed a significant flood risk for this area, which can lead to property damage and disrupt transportation and public services. Severe wind damage is another factor to consider, with high velocity winds posing a risk to infrastructure, particularly to buildings not constructed to withstand such conditions. According to historical data, West Park has been in the path of numerous hurricanes in the last 30 years. The most detrimental of these was Hurricane Wilma in October 2005, which caused widespread wind and water damage across South Florida. The 1992 hurricane, Andrew, although its eye passed further south, caused significant damage across the wider region, including Broward County. These past events highlight the potential impacts of hurricanes on West Park and underline the need for thorough preparation and robust response strategies in the face of such threats.
