Fern Park, Florida, situated in Seminole County, is a town with moderate hurricane risk due its inland location; approximately 27 miles from the East coast of Florida. Despite this, the town isn't completely safe from the threats that hurricanes pose, with high winds and flash flooding being the primary concerns. Although the town is relatively elevated, reducing the risk of a storm surge, the flatness of Florida could still pose a risk of considerable rainfall-induced flood. Heavy rainfall during such storms can overwhelm local bodies of water and drainage systems leading to flash flooding. Over the last thirty years, Fern Park has experienced several hurricanes that emphasize the area's susceptibility to these storms. In 2004, hurricanes Charlie, Frances, and Jeanne brought strong winds and torrential downpours to this region. In 2005, hurricane Wilma also posed a significant threat in terms of high-speed winds. More recently, in 2017, hurricane Irma passed through Seminole County leading to power outages and unavoidable damage. While these hurricanes were devastating, they provide a valuable historical background to understand the threat level of hurricanes in Fern Park region and should motivate appropriate response measures and disaster management planning.
