Quincy, Florida, is not significantly threatened by surge impacts compared to coastal areas due to its inland location approximately 20 miles from the Gulf Coast. However, with an average elevation of only about 200 feet, the town is not immune to flood risks from intense rainfall during hurricane events. Hurricanes tend to dump vast amounts of rainfall which leads to flooding, especially in areas with high water tables and inadequate drainage systems. Moreover, the town's terrain does not allow floodwaters to disperse as quickly. Looking at the past 30 years, Quincy was significantly impacted by Hurricane Michael in 2018 which was a Category 5 hurricane. The town suffered damage from high wind speeds, but the most impactful was the extreme rainfall, leading to flooding in several areas. Another hurricane that caused severe impacts was Hurricane Kate in 1985 which also resulted in high wind damage, yet again the flooding from sustained rainfall was the primary concern. Historical weather data suggests that hurricanes and severe storms pose substantial flood risks in Quincy due to the heavy rain they bring to the region. Therefore, the town should establish and maintain robust preparedness measures including sufficient drainage procedures, flood barriers, evacuation plans, and emergency services.

This hurricane evacuation zone lookup gives you a clear starting point so you can plan ahead and stay informed.
Hurricane preparedness goes beyond knowing your zone.

The hurricane supplies list on this page is a good basis for a go-kit. We also recommend signing up for local emergency alerts and following your state and county emergency management offices for the latest evacuation zone information and orders.
