Please be advised that Miami-Dade, officially, has just been put under a Tropical Storm Watch.
In order to remind you and your household members to be prepared:
Be sure to have plenty of
- Water (minimum 5 gallons per person—and don’t forget your pets)
- Food (easily prepared without need of electricity and not easily spoiled in case refrigeration goes out)
- Medications
- Keep your mobile phones charged and have a back up charger
- Keep important documents in easily accessible waterproof containers
- Fill your car gas tanks
Please secure all outside objects that may become airborne in high winds—trash cans, planters, lawn equipment– even any loose trimmings should be put under tarps.
Also, be advised that if the Miami-Dade Police Department goes into emergency mode, our patrol may not be available to help.
Final tip: go through your home and take pictures of everything inside and out.
