Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Broward and Monroe Counties advise people in living in evacuation zones to find a safe shelter during a storm or hurricane. For those who can’t access a safe place, the American Red Cross will provide shelters of last resort in Miami-Dade and Broward County. Monroe County shelters will only open in case of storms of category 1 or 2. Keep in mind that not all shelters will be open.
Get informed through the local media and contact your county emergency offices for more information about the shelters that will be opened.
