St. Pete Beach, Florida, situated in Pinellas County along the Gulf of Mexico coast, is particularly vulnerable to a variety of hurricane-related impacts due to its coastal location and low elevation, which averages at about three feet above sea level. The town's geographical features make it susceptible not only to high storm surges and tidal flooding, but also to high winds and heavy rainfalls associated with tropical storms and hurricanes. Developing and executing a robust emergency preparedness plan will be crucial to mitigate the impact of such powerful storms, especially given predicted increases in hurricane frequency and intensity due to climate change. In the past 30 years, St. Pete Beach has been significantly impacted by a number of major hurricanes and storms that caused severe flooding. Notably, Hurricane Irma in 2017 resulted in considerable coastal flooding and infrastructural damage. Other significant storms of the past three decades include the "No Name Storm" of 1993 which caused substantial flooding and Hurricane Jeanne in 2004 which caused widespread damage throughout the state and is still remembered for its impact. These historical events underscore the town's vulnerability to hurricanes and the importance of preparedness for the community.
