Hurricane Season



The Hurricane Season runs from June 1 - November 30th, so now is the right time to ensure you have a family emergency plan if you haven't created one yet. Download the Miami-Dade County Guide below and access other important links to prepare you for hurricane season:


Emergency & Evacuation Assistance Program

Residents who require evacuation assistance should register for the Emergency and Evacuation Assistance Program (EEAP) before hurricane season to ensure help will be given following an evacuation order. Assistance may also be provided after an emergency.

This program is for individuals with functional and access needs who live alone or with families who

  • cannot evacuate on their own due to medical or specialized transportation needs
  • are homebound or bedridden, unable to walk and do not have transportation options
  • are on life-sustaining medical equipment that requires electricity
  • require assistance with daily living activities

If you know of someone with limited mobility and medical issues, help them to sign up for the EEAP to ensure they receive assistance. 

Pre-registered residents in the EEAP will receive priority. Visit the Emergency and Evacuation Assistance Program (EEAP) page to learn more about the program, printout an application or register online.  Call 311 if you would like an application sent to you, including alternate formats such as Braille or large print.

Residents in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or group homes must follow their own facilities’ emergency plans. Facilities implement their mutual aid agreements should they need to evacuate.
