Seminole County in the Orlando metro has moderate disaster risk due to its inland location and higher elevation compared to coastal Florida counties. Hurricane Irma caused widespread tree damage and power outages across the county in 2017, but storm surge is not a primary threat. Tornado activity during hurricane passage and severe thunderstorm season is the main concern.
