Feather Sound, Florida, faces a considerable risk of hurricanes and related effects given its proximity to the Gulf Coast of Florida. The minimal elevation of the town, often at or below sea level, presents a heightened risk of flooding, particularly storm surge flooding which is one of the deadliest components of hurricanes. The entire region is highly susceptible to wind damage due to the speed of hurricanes that can often frequent the area. The construction of infrastructure in the vicinity must therefore consider these wind speeds and aim to be hurricane-resistant. Historically, Feather Sound has endured significant hurricane impacts over the past thirty years. The area was particularly impacted by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and significantly impacted by the passing of Hurricane Charley in 2004. Both hurricanes caused widespread flooding and wind damage around Feather Sound. In the event of another major hurricane threat, residents are advised to be attentive to local news and weather forecasts, and to have a contingency plan in place, such as the evacuation procedures which have been employed in the past. Due to the town's vulnerability to flooding, securing flood insurance is also advised.
