Preparedness
There are over 450,000 residents in Pasco County,
Florida. One third of those residents live along the 18
mile Gulf coast.
Of those that do have a hurricane evacuation plan,
nearly 70% (140,000) will not have all the supplies
and important documents to sustain themselves for 3
days, or aid in their own recovery post-disaster.
As discussed on our "Hazards" pages, hurricanes
are just one element that can create a disaster for
Pasco residents. A significant amount of industrial
shipping, both by rail and truck pass through Pasco
County each day.
Additionally, Pasco County Florida also has houses
in the approach paths for Tampa International and
Clearwater/St. Petersburg airports, as well as the
Space Shuttle program.
