Miramar was incorporated in 1955 as a small community in southern Broward County. The city's name, Spanish for 'view of the sea,' reflects its South Florida roots. In the 1950s and 1960s, Miramar developed steadily as a suburb of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The real transformation came after Hurricane Andrew devastated nearby Miami-Dade County in 1992, driving tens of thousands of families northward into Miramar's affordable planned communities.

By the 2000s, Miramar had become one of Florida's fastest-growing cities, expanding westward with communities like Monarch Lakes, Silver Shores, and Riviera Isles. Today, Miramar's 140,823 residents make it the 3rd most populous city in Broward County. The city is known for its diversity, family-friendly neighborhoods, and its location directly on the Broward-Miami-Dade county line — entirely within HVHZ Zone 1.

⚠️ Risk Level: HVHZ Zone 1 — Extreme Risk | Broward County mandates NOA-certified impact protection for all new construction

🌪️ Last Major Storm: Hurricane Wilma — October 2005 | 105 MPH winds | Widespread damage across Miramar

Miramar's location on the Broward-Miami-Dade county line gives it dual exposure: it faces both Broward County's HVHZ requirements and Miami-Dade's historically highest hurricane risk. In 2005, Katrina struck Miramar directly as a Category 1, followed weeks later by Wilma's 105 MPH winds. Western Miramar communities like Silver Shores and Monarch Lakes experienced maximum sustained wind exposure. In 2017, Irma's outer bands drove wind-driven rain through every unprotected window in the city.

🔴 1. County Line Dual Exposure — Miramar sits on the Broward-Miami-Dade county line, giving it exposure to both counties' hurricane risk profiles. Western Miramar communities border the Everglades, amplifying wind speeds during storms. Standard builder-grade windows are not engineered for this dual exposure.

🔴 2. Post-Andrew Growth Zone — Most of western Miramar was built after Hurricane Andrew specifically to house displaced families. These communities have the highest concentration of homes needing HVHZ upgrades from original 1990s-era windows.

🔴 3. Insurance Crisis — Miramar homeowners face Citizens Insurance surcharges of 30–75% without HVHZ-certified impact protection, adding $2,000–$5,000/year in premiums. Doorliz (FL #13BS00177) eliminates this burden permanently.
