Exmore, Virginia, while not directly on the coastline, still must be cautious regarding potential hurricane impacts; it's relatively close proximity to both the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean leaves it open to hurricane-associated risks such as heavy rain, high winds, and flooding. Given its low elevation, around 49 feet, the area can become prone to severe storm surge if a hurricane's track shifts towards the Chesapeake Bay. Flash flooding can be a particular concern for this area during substantial rainfall events. This is amplified by the fact that the town can be the recipient of rain not only from the hurricane's immediate effects but also from precipitation runoff from higher neighboring elevities.
Historically, Exmore has experienced the impact of several significant hurricanes and tropical storms. A poignant example would be Hurricane Sandy in 2012; even though the storm did not make direct landfall in Virginia, its extensive field and slow-moving nature caused major flooding and wind damage in Exmore and surrounding areas. In 2003, Hurricane Isabel brought heavy rains, severe winds, and extensive flooding to the region. Also noteworthy is the 1999 Hurricane Floyd; it caused one of the most severe floods in the townâs history, inflicting a lot of damage to the infrastructure. Hence, Exmore's history with these impactful events should serve as a reminder that despite its inland location, the threat from hurricanes is very real and can be quite substantial.

Why Your Evacuation Zone Matters
Storm surgeâwater driven ashore by a hurricaneâis one of the greatest threats to life and property in coastal and low-lying areas. Evacuation zones are drawn using elevation, historical surge data, and flood models so that the most vulnerable areas are identified in advance. If you are in a higher-risk zone, having an evacuation plan and a go-kit ready can save critical time when an order is issued. 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. It includes having an evacuation route, a family communication plan, emergency supplies (water, food, medications, important documents), and a plan for pets. The hurricane supplies list on this page is a good basis for a go-kit. We also recommend signing up for local emergency alerts and following your state and county emergency management offices for the latest evacuation zone information and orders.
