Prepare for Higher than Average Tides

Preparing for November King Tides
November 24 - November 28
Preparing for King Tides

King Tides are the highest tides of the year, which typically occur during the months of September, October and November.

We are expected to experience tidal levels about 1 foot higher than predicted. If this trend continues, we anticipate sunny day flooding to begin occurring for short periods of time in low-lying areas of the city. This will occur each day until the king tides recede after November 28
Personal Protection is Essential

  • Register for the Parking Flood Relief Program to obtain FREE temporary parking accommodations during king tides and other weather events. See if your area falls within the prescribed flood zone areas: Flood Zone Map.

  • Road closures may occur as a result of flooding. Sign up for our traffic updates by texting MBTraffic to 888777. 

  • Be sure to have flood insurance for your home or business. Learn more: Flood Insurance 

  • If you see flood waters, avoid coming into contact. There could be hazards below the surface, like pollutants and debris, that you cannot see. Six inches of fast flowing water can also knock you off your feet.

  • Avoid driving through flooded waters. It only takes less than a meter of water to float a car.

  • Wash your car, including the undercarriage, if it came in contact with flood waters. Flood waters are high in salinity and could damage your vehicle.

  • Remember, flooding brings standing water. Check around your personal property - if you see standing water for more than 48 hours, report it by calling 305.673.7625. Always drain and cover

  • If you come across any flooding that obstructs access or causes damage on public or private property, please report it through the Miami Beach e-Gov app
Low Lying Areas

Residents who live in the following areas should anticipate to see some flooding in their neighborhoods throughout the King Tide event and plan accordingly.

  • Indian Creek Drive from 29 to 41 streets
  • West Avenue and 8 Street
  • 1 Street and Alton Road
  • South Pointe Drive and Washington Avenue
  • 44 Street and Post Avenue (Muss Park) areas
  • North Bay Road from 43 to 63 streets
  • Bonita Drive
  • Marseille Drive and Rue Notre Dame
  • Crespi Boulevard and 79 Terrace

Properties in these low-lying or flood prone areas are strongly encouraged to use flood panels and other flood protection methods to protect their property. Residents can also contact the city to learn more about options to reduce your flood risk. Call the floodplain manager at 305.673.7610.
Your City in Action
The City of Miami Beach Public Works team is fully staffed and ready to respond to any flooding reports.

In preparation for the King Tides, staff has begun cleaning stormwater systems to reduce pollutants from entering the waterways and are conducting inspections to reduce flooding. In addition, 14 temporary pumps and generators have also been installed to mitigate flooding in these low-lying neighborhoods.

Watch the video to learn more about how our stormwater pump system works.
