Huntington, Virginia, though located further inland, continues to be susceptible to the threats associated with hurricane-induced damage owing to its proximity to the coast. Hurricanes bring torrential rain and high winds, which in turn can result in downed power lines, property damage from falling trees, and significant flooding. Of primary concern for Huntington is the town's inherent risk of flooding as it sits at a relatively low elevation and near the Potomac River. This makes it particularly vulnerable to heavy rainfall often associated with hurricanes and tropical storms. Floodwaters can not only cause immediate damage to properties and infrastructure but can also leave behind a lingering threat of mold and other health hazards in its wake. Over the past 30 years, Huntington has been at the receiving end of multiple major hurricanes and resultant flooding. Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and Hurricane Isabel in 2003 stand out as extreme cases that brought heavy rainfall to the area, caused notable flooding, and resulted in significant damage. Both storms led to the evacuation of many residents, impressive property loss, and required considerable recovery efforts. Considering history and geographic factors, the residents and authorities in Huntington should have comprehensive hurricane and flood preparedness measures in place should another severe storm be forecast in the region.

Storm surge—water driven ashore by a hurricane—is 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.

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.
