The City of Fort Lauderdale is a coastal community with numerous low-lying areas and 300 miles of canal coastline. From time to time we experience severe flooding associated with extreme weather events such as tropical storms and hurricanes. Flooding might also occur as a result of inclement weather conditions including prolonged heavy rains, storm surge and seasonal high tides. These conditions are expected to worsen with projected sea level rise increases associated with climate change.
While the City maintains an extensive storm water master plan and is instituting both aggressive maintenance and innovative adaptation solutions to address drainage, the location and natural geography of our City makes us susceptible to flooding.
