Natural Hazard Profile: Bolingbroke, Georgia
Located in the interior eastern United States in Monroe County, Bolingbroke is a small unincorporated community. The humid subtropical climate that characterizes this part of Georgia — marked by hot, humid summers and relatively mild winters — directly influences the types and severity of natural hazards present, making Bolingbroke a community where hazard awareness has real practical value.
FEMA rates Bolingbroke's composite natural disaster risk at 4.9 out of 10 — moderate risk. Hurricane and tropical storm exposure tops the local risk profile, with the community vulnerable to storm surge, high sustained winds, and flooding rainfall during the June–November season.
