Flooding in low-lying areas is more likely in the fall months, as the close proximity of the moon, high tides, rising sea levels and inclement weather conditions combine to exacerbate flooding risks.

As a coastal community with numerous low-lying areas and 300 miles of canal coastline, Fort Lauderdale neighbors are advised to be especially vigilant during the months of September, October and November.

Please take the time to evaluate your property's readiness, review your insurance policy and create an emergency plan.  Visit these pages to learn more about how to prepare and what the City is doing to increase Fort Lauderdale's Climate Resiliency.
