Fort Pierce North, located within St. Lucie County in Florida, is particularly susceptible to the impacts of hurricanes due to its direct proximity to the Florida East Coast. As part of the Atlantic hurricane belt, it has experienced numerous tropical storms and hurricanes. One such example is the devastation caused by the back-to-back impacts of Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne during the very active 2004 Atlantic hurricane season. These hurricanes flooded the areas along the Indian River Lagoon and brought high winds up to 105 mph causing significant damage. Additionally, although the community sits at a relatively higher elevation compared to other coastal places in Florida, heavy rainfall associated with hurricanes has historically caused both storm surge and freshwater flooding. With global climate change and sea level rise, the risk of flood events in Fort Pierce North could potentially worsen in the future. These changes have the potential to exacerbate storm surges and could increase the intensity of local rainfall, which, together with the topographical characteristics of the area, could heighten the risk of flash floods. Infrastructure in this area would also come under significant storm threat, due to the possibility of downpours causing immense strain on drainage systems, resulting in subsequent property damage and roadway impediments. The community of Fort Pierce North, therefore, needs to have adequate preparation and efficient emergency management systems in place to mitigate the risks associated with these forecasted hurricane impacts.
