About Jensen Beach.
Jensen Beach, Florida, is directly on the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, making it particularly susceptible to hurricane threats and storm surges. The town is also situated just about at sea level, significantly increasing the flood risk, especially in a tropical system. With regards to high winds, the density of buildings and infrastructures increases the risk of damage. Trees can also be a threat, becoming projectiles due to strong winds and causing damage to infrastructures. Jensen Beach's proximity to the coast and its low elevation make evacuation due to potential storm surges a serious consideration during any significant tropical systems.
In the past 30 years, several major hurricanes and storms have affected Jensen Beach. The significant ones include Hurricane Jeanne and Frances in 2004, which caused heavy floods and damage to infrastructures with its high winds and heavy rains. Hurricane Wilma in 2005 also resulted in widespread destruction in the area. More recently, despite not making landfall, Hurricane Dorian in 2019 seriously impacted Jensen Beach with powerful winds and storm surges causing evacuations and property damages. Therefore, hurricane planning and preparedness is essential for the residents of Jensen Beach given its high vulnerability to hurricane threats and flooding.
