Why Florida Desperately Needs Better Storm Surge Protection

In today’s world, climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of coastal storms. As a result, communities across the globe are facing growing threats from storm surges, sudden and powerful rises in sea levels typically caused by hurricanes or cyclones. These surges can wreak havoc on homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure in a matter of hours. That’s why storm surge protection solutions are no longer optional; they are essential.

Why Storm Surge Protection Matters

A storm surge isn’t just high water. It’s an extreme and rapid rise in sea level, driven by strong winds and low atmospheric pressure during severe storms. The damage doesn’t come from the water height alone; the speed and sheer force of the surge can lead to catastrophic flooding, severe erosion, and widespread destruction. Unlike typical flooding, storm surges strike suddenly, leaving little time to react. This makes early preparation and the right protection systems not just helpful.
