All of Miami Beach is an evacuation zone. It is advised that you begin evacuation procedures before an evacuation order is given. This will allow you more time to calmly get off of the island to a home of a friend or relative that is not in an evacuation zone. Please remember to take your emergency suitcase of essential supplies (see pages 10-11). Red Cross shelters will not open until an evacuation order is given and spaces are limited. Families with pets must register prior to an evacuation warning at one of Miami-Dade County’s animal-friendly shelters. Once a storm approaches, emergency services are limited and emergency personnel cannot react if an emergency occurs until after the storm.

Miami Beach Parking Garages
The City of Miami Beach opens its municipal parking garages for residential parking free of charge, during a state of emergency. Availability is on a first-come basis with City vehicles taking a priority. The elevators will not be operational. Parking will resume normal operations once the city has been declared safe or a reoccupation has been granted. Make sure to remove your vehicle from the garage to avoid charges. For more information, call the Parking Department at 305.673.7505.

SHELTERS
There are no hurricane shelters in Miami Beach or the coastal communities. The American Red Cross in coordination with other agencies operate shelters for evacuees at mainland schools and other facilities as deemed necessary during an evacuation. The locations are not pre-determined. A list of shelters will be made available through the Miami-Dade County Emergency Operation Center as soon as they become available. Shelter announcements will be made available on MBTV-77, online at http://www.miamibeachfl.gov/ or by calling 311. The shelters are not intended to be temporary housing. After a disaster, assessments will be made with local emergency managers as to continued and other shelter needs.

HURRICANE EVACUATION BUS STOPS
The City of Miami Beach will begin evacuation procedures as soon as there is an evacuation order from the state and county. If you have not made prior arrangements to stay somewhere off of the island, the City urges residents to go to a Red Cross hurricane shelter. Miami-Dade Transit buses will provide free transportation to the mainland shelters from 21 locations in Miami Beach. Buses that will transport people for hurricane evacuations will have a special notice on the front of the bus where the route information is displayed. Remember that pets are not allowed to go to general population shelters (see Pet Evacuation Shelters, page 4) and therefore will not be allowed on the bus. Buses run continuous routes until Tropical Storm force winds arrive.
