South Daytona, Florida, given its coastal location on Florida's east coast, is highly susceptible to the common impacts of hurricanes, which include high-speed winds, storm surges, flooding, and heavy rain. This community is located approximately one mile inland from the Atlantic Ocean, which makes it particularly susceptible to storm surges brought on by the inward movement of ocean water. Unlike areas with considerable elevation, South Daytona's low-level ground compounds its vulnerability to flooding as heavy rains have nowhere to drain off to. Historical data reinforces this concern, with several instances of significant flooding due to severe weather events and hurricanes. Over the last 30 years, South Daytona has faced significant impacts from various major hurricanes and tropical storms. Notably, Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the Charley-Frances-Jeanne trio in 2004, and Irma in 2017. In 2004, the series of hurricanes led to severe infrastructure damage and extensive power outages. Hurricane Irma, which is remembered as one of the deadliest and costliest hurricanes in Florida's recent history, flooded the Halifax River, leading to massive water intrusion across South Daytona. These significant weather events and the city's inability to prevent flood-induced damage underscore the importance of residents undertaking preparedness measures ahead of the hurricane season, which runs from June 1st to November 30th. Furthermore, considerations for the city could include working on infrastructure improvements, like enhancing drainage and deploying better flood control mechanisms, in order to help minimize as much of the potential hurricane impacts as possible.
