The Hammocks, Florida, located at a modest elevation and less than 20 miles inland from the coastline, is significantly at risk to hurricane threats, including intense storm surges, heavy rains, and potent winds. The close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the coast of the Everglades and Biscayne Bay puts this area in danger of gaining the full influence of storm surges, especially during high tide. Despite its slight elevation, the potential for localized and flash flooding due to the significant downpours that hurricanes bring can't be overlooked. The urbanized area with restricted drainage may also exacerbate this flooding risk. Over the past 30 years, The Hammocks has experienced several impactful hurricanes and storms. Notably, in 1992, Hurricane Andrew caused significant damage to The Hammocks, leaving a substantial part of it severely devastated. Furthermore, Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in 2005 also generated intense winds and rains causing both property damage and flooding in the area. Given this history of hurricane impact and the town's geographical vulnerability, hurricane preparedness should be a top priority for residents and local authorities in The Hammocks.
