Flood Information
Miami Beach is still experiencing minor flooding from King Tides and intermittent rains ahead of Hurricane Dorian Please remember not to drive or walk through flood waters and remember these tips:
- Locate your flood insurance policy to be ready in the case you may need to file a claim for damage.
- Elevate mechanical equipment and appliances, as able, if you anticipate that waters may enter areas such as your garage.
- Avoid parking your vehicle in low lying areas- move it to higher ground, such as a parking garage.
