Disputanta, Virginia, while not located on the coastline, is still susceptible to the impacts of hurricanes given its relatively close proximity, about 60 miles, to the Atlantic coast. Hurricanes, especially those of significant strength, can create extensive rain bands that reach far inland and could lead to heavy rainfall in the Disputanta region. The elevation of the area does not pose a significant natural barrier to the effects of rainfall. The town is situated in Prince George’s County which, based on the FEMA flood map, does have areas subject to high flood risk, though not specifically in Disputanta. However, prolonged heavy rainfall might lead to flooding, considering the town's numerous creeks and proximity to the James River. Increased winds from a hurricane could result in downed trees and power outages. In the past 30 years, the town has seen the effects of several major hurricanes, including Hurricanes Isabel (2003) and Irene (2011), which brought considerable rain, wind, and subsequent power loss to the region. Most recently, Hurricane Florence (2018) albeit weakened, still delivered torrential rains. Late summer to early fall is the peak time for hurricane-related impacts due to the Atlantic hurricane season. Therefore, during this time, local authorities and residents of Disputanta should remain vigilant and prepare for potential hurricanes, prioritizing plans around flood mitigation, evacuation routes, and emergency power supplies.
