Harbour Heights, Florida is closely situated to the coast and right near the Peace River, providing direct channels through which hurricanes can wreak havoc in the area. Its low elevation also amplifies the risk as storm surges, heavy rainfall often come with hurricanes, leading to dangerous flooding conditions. Historically, this region has seen severe impacts of tropical storms and hurricanes such as Hurricane Irma in 2017 which resulted in widespread power outages, infrastructure damage, and flooding. A few years prior to Irma, in 2004, the region was hit hard by Hurricane Charley leading to significant damage to properties and the landscape. When considering the potential impacts of hurricanes for Harbour Heights, it is necessary to consider not only flooding and wind damage, but also the aftermath, which often includes extended power outages, damage to infrastructure, and resulting economic impacts. The community’s dependence on the Peace River infrastructure for power, water, and transportation further complicates the situation during the recovery phase. As the weather patterns are becoming more unpredictable due to climate change, the residents of Harbour Heights must remain vigilant and prepared for future events, ensuring that they have strong, well-enforced building codes and effective evacuation plans.
