Miami-Dade Emergency Management (MDEM) is closely monitoring the movement of Hurricane Irma. Miami-Dade County Commissioner Dennis C. Moss is urging residents to get prepared. Residents should be stocking up on water and essentials and checking out the County’s Hurricane Guide at www.miamidade.gov/hurricane/.
Beginning today (Sept. 6) at noon and again on Thursday, Sept. 7, at 8:30 a.m., sand will be available at seven locations in District 9 where residents who live in flood-prone zones can come to fill their sand bags. Residents can bring their own sand bags and shovels (sand bags MAY also be on site).
