Flood prone areas are widely scattered throughout the county. Areas close to inland bodies of water and lower elevation areas in the northern and southern sections of the county are particularly susceptible to flooding. Coastal areas are subject to flooding from storm surge and exceptionally high tides. Drainage problems are created by prolonged periods of heavy rainfall to the point where the locks and pump stations are ineffective in preventing flooding.
