Staying Safe After a Hurricane Focus on the most important elements around staying safe after a hurricane.
Damage Reporting We use the information you report to assess the impact and respond to the affected areas.
Power Outages Extended power outages may impact the whole community and the economy. Prepare for before, during, and after the storm.
Chainsaw Safety Operating a chain saw is inherently hazardous. Potential injuries can be minimized by using proper personal protective equipment and safe operating procedures.
Generator Safety and Hurricanes Power outages are common during disasters, and they can last for several days. You can reduce your losses and speed the recovery process with an emergency generator. Portable generators made for household use can provide temporary power to a few appliances or lights. Commercial generators can help prevent service interruptions at businesses and critical infrastructure facilities, such as hospitals
Extreme Heat Warnings and Safety Extreme heat is a period of high heat and humidity with temperatures above 90 degrees for at least two to three days. In extreme heat your body works extra hard to maintain a normal temperature, which can lead to death. In fact, extreme heat is responsible for the highest number of annual deaths among all weather-related hazards.
Consumer Fraud and Price Gouging Once the Governor of Florida, Miami-Dade County Mayor or the City of Miami Mayor has declared a “State of Emergency” or a “Local State of Emergency”, the guidelines for price gouging are effective immediately.
Transportation After a Storm Roads and transportation can be extremely dangerous after a hurricane. Please follow these tips to stay safe.
