Geneva, Florida lies in Seminole County, approximately 20 miles from the east coast and is thus susceptible to the effects of hurricanes which regularly impact the state. Given the town's relative closeness to the coast, people can expect extensive rainfall, strong winds, and potential sporadic tornadoes triggered by intense hurricanes. Furthermore, Geneva is just under 25 feet above sea level, which increases the town's vulnerability to flooding, especially given the presence of several lakes and wetlands in the vicinity. The combination of heavy rainfall with a relatively flat terrain may result in substantial standing water and flood damage. Over the past 30 years, Geneva has faced the impact of various severe hurricanes and tropical storms. Notably, hurricanes Floyd in 1999, Charley in 2004, and Irma in 2017, brought widespread damage in terms of wind and flooding throughout Seminole county, including the town of Geneva. During Hurricane Charley, the National Hurricane Center reported wind damage in many areas and power outages for several days. Geneva's residents need to be particularly aware of the threat of flooding during hurricane season, especially those property owners near the water bodies. Furthermore, the overall hurricane risk must not be underestimated given Geneva's geographical location.

Evacuation zones are drawn using elevation, historical surge data, and flood models so that the most vulnerable areas are identified in advance.

This hurricane evacuation zone lookup gives you a clear starting point so you can plan ahead and stay informed.
Hurricane preparedness goes beyond knowing your zone.
