Babcock Ranch, which opened in 2018, effectively sheltered over 2,000 evacuees during Hurricane Milton, showcasing its design to withstand climate-driven storms and help save lives.
Syd Kitson, co-founder of Babcock Ranch, highlighted that the community's infrastructures are built to endure over 150 mph hurricane winds, ensuring resilience in extreme weather.
Despite Hurricane Milton’s impact, Babcock Ranch experienced minimal damage like downed trees and never lost power, thanks to its solar farms and underground systems.
Kitson emphasized their goal is to mitigate risks from storms, stating 'Mother Nature is going to rule every time,' but the community aims to be as resilient as possible.
