City of Miami Beach

Heavy Rains Expected
Wednesday, October 21, 2020
Heavy rains on Miami Beach are predicted to start around 11 a.m. and last for several hours. The high tide prediction for today is near 1:30 p.m. with an estimate of 1.8 feet. As the combination of these two conditions will likely produce flooding in low lying areas, the City of Miami Beach is opening all municipal parking garages, effective immediately, for residents to store their vehicles. Click here to view a list of all city parking garages, garages are denoted with a G.
 
Vehicles may remain in garages at no cost until tomorrow, October 22 at 6 p.m. Upon exiting a garage, residents should be prepared to show a photo ID or utility bill showing a Miami Beach address.
Personal Protection is Essential

  • 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.

  • 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
