Flood & Climate Risk in Immokalee

Immokalee has a moderate flood history with 34 FEMA claims averaging $21,266 per payout. 50% of ZIP codes fall within FEMA flood zones. Flood events can contaminate drinking water and overwhelm treatment systems.
How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies.
