Richmond Heights, located in Miami-Dade County Florida, is relatively inland but still rendered vulnerable to heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding associated with hurricanes. The town has a predominantly flat topography, standing just about 10 feet above sea level, which exposes it to flood risks, particularly from storm surge. The area is defined as a Flood Zone X, meaning it's outside the 0.2% annual chance floodplain. However, in the event of heavy rain and hurricanes, Richmond Heights could experience localized flooding. Over the recent decades, Richmond Heights has experienced direct and indirect impacts of several major hurricanes which have caused significant damage, including Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and Hurricane Irma in 2017. Particularly, Hurricane Andrew caused extensive damage to the town due to extreme wind speeds, whereas Hurricanes Katrina and Irma resulted in substantial flooding. With these historical weather events in consideration, residents should acknowledge the potential effects of hurricanes and maintain ongoing preparedness for hurricane season. Preparation should include securing properties against wind damage, creating flood barriers where possible, and organizing evacuation plans in case of high-level threats.
