King Tides begin today, September 26, and continue through September 30. These higher-than-normal tides can contribute to flooding in low-lying and coastal areas.
During King Tide periods, be mindful of your surroundings, avoid driving or walking through flooded areas, and remember that heavy rainfall can worsen flooding.
Stay informed. Stay prepared.

Know how to spot dengue fever! 🦟
Dengue is a mosquito-borne illness that can range from mild to severe. If you develop symptoms after being in an area where dengue is present, talk with a health care provider about your symptoms and whether you should be tested.
🚨 While most dengue cases are not severe, severe dengue can become life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. If symptoms become severe or you notice warning signs such as severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, bleeding, or extreme weakness, seek medical care right away.
The best way to prevent dengue is to avoid mosquito bites. Spray, Cover, and Drain. Use insect repellent, wear protective clothing, and take steps to reduce mosquitoes around your home.

Miami-Dade mourns the loss of activist Gloria Steinem. For more than five decades, she gave women the courage to demand equality in their homes, workplaces, and communities. She inspired generations of women, including many right here in South Florida. Her activism and unwavering commitment to justice changed what was thought possible for women of all ages. We honor her legacy and carry her work forward.

Before you head out, know what’s around you.
Heavy rain can quickly overwhelm drainage systems and create localized flooding.
Make these habits part of your rainy-day routine:
Know your flood-prone areas.
Check your route before leaving.
Never drive through flooded roads.
Give yourself extra travel time.
Stay informed as conditions change.
When water covers the road, Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
