North Bay Village, situated on several man-made islands in Biscayne Bay and connected by bridges to Miami's mainland, is highly vulnerable to hurricane threats due to its coastal location. Proximity to the sea and lower elevation make it susceptible to acute storm surge risks, as well as potential wind damage from increased wind speeds. Flooding is a significant concern, particularly in a hurricane event, as the area can quickly become flooded during heavy rain, given its elevation ranges from sea level to only about ten feet. Low-lying areas experience potential for saltwater intrusion. Historically, North Bay Village faced significant impacts from several major hurricanes and floods in the past three decades. Hurricane Andrew, one of the strongest hurricanes to hit South Florida, affected the region in 1992 causing widescale devastation. More recently, hurricanes Irma in 2017 and Michael in 2018 brought significant flooding to the area. It is crucial to account for these factors and potential impacts when hurricane assessments are conducted or evacuation plans prepared. Climate change and sea-level rise considerations must reinforce storm preparation efforts for North Bay Village, given the increased frequency and intensity of these extreme weather events.
