Eglin AFB, located in Northwest Florida near the Emerald Coast, is highly susceptible to hurricane threats due to its coastal positioning. Historical events have shown a significant vulnerability to storm surge flooding, heavy rainfall, severe winds, and tornadoes that are often associated with hurricanes. The mostly low-lying areas generally lack significant physical barriers against these threats, which can exacerbate risk factors. In terms of flooding, Eglin AFB does experience heavy rains during hurricanes which can cause localized flooding. Notable storms in the past 30 years include Hurricane Opal (1995), one of the most intense category 4 hurricanes to make a direct hit on this area. More recently, Hurricane Sally (2020) caused considerable flood damage in the region, disrupting daily operations significantly. The potential intensification of hurricanes due to climate change also remains a major concern. For planning purposes, residents and organizations in Eglin AFB should account for both immediate hurricane impacts and also the potential for post-storm flooding driven by heavy rainfall. Rigorous evacuation plans, flood mitigation strategies such as the construction of effective drainage systems, and robust emergency response capacities are all recommended.
