What areas of Florida are most flood prone?
Almost everywhere in Florida has some level of flooding risk. Water shapes our state, from the freshwater springs, to the lakes, rivers, swamps, marshes and oceans – it’s hard to avoid flood zones in Florida.
“Flooding is one of Florida's most frequent hazards. It is a coast-to-coast threat that can occur at any time of the year,” according to FloridaDisaster.org.
“There are different reasons a community may flood; storm surge, river flooding, or heavy rainfall. Low-lying or poorly drained areas can also increase a community's flood risk.”
