As we enter the most active part of hurricane season it is important that you have a plan in place, supplies on hand and continue to stay informed of the latest weather updates from the National Hurricane Center.
Please review and save the resources below to make sure you have the information you need to stay prepared this hurricane season.
Review your emergency plan with your family now so you know what to do and where you will go in case an evacuation order is issued. Visit ready.gov/plan for more information.
Stock up on emergency supplies early. Once a hurricane warning is declared, most of your preparations should be directed toward your home. This year, remember to include face masks, hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies in your emergency kit. Visit Miami-Dade County's website for a checklist of supplies.
Hurricane Evacuation Centers & COVID-19
All evacuation orders are issued by Miami-Dade County. When an evacuation order is given, Miami-Dade County Hurricane Evacuation Centers (HECs) can be found on the County's website. Open HECs will also be listed on local radio, television stations and at Miami-Dade County's Call Center at 311 or 305.468.5900, TTY/TDD 305.468.5402. Every shelter may not be open for every event.
Miami-Dade County has established rules to adhere to during the COVID-19 pandemic. Once an evacuation center is opened, evacuees will be asked to follow the guidelines set by the Center for Disease Control and Florida Department of Health. Individuals entering the evacuation center can expect to be screened for fever, cough and shortness of breath. If you have these symptoms, you should inform staff when you arrive. Signage will be posted outlining the rules evacuees must follow.
