Your First Aid Kit
A First Aid Kit should always be kept in the home and each automobile.
A First Aid Kit should include:
Monroe County’s comprehensive Emergency Plan calls for a “Phased Evacuation.” This
evacuation plan is intended to avoid unnecessary evacuation if some zones are expected to be
affected and others are not. Locate the zone you live in so that you will know when to leave if an
evacuation for your zone becomes necessary.
Discuss whether anyone in your home is elderly or has special needs and, if so, make
arrangements in advance to accommodate those needs
Determine how you will address your pet’s needs and make a plan for your pet in case you
have to evacuate. If appropriate, plan for large animals such as horses
Plan ahead for the possibility of becoming separated from your family and friends, whether it is
a personal emergency or a larger-scale disaster
Start by designating a single, out-of-town contact that your family or household members can
call, e-mail or text message should a disaster occur. If local phone service is overwhelmed, it
may be easier to call outside the area. Your contact should be aware that they are your
family’s designated contact
All of your loved ones should agree to call the out-of town contact to report their whereabouts
and welfare
Regular contact with your designated person will help to keep everyone informed. After initial
contact and depending on the circumstances, you might set a specific check-in time
When telephone lines are busy, e-mails or text messages may go through when calls cannot
Create an emergency contact list; include phone numbers and e-mail addresses for your
designated out-of-town contact, loved ones, neighbors and other emergency numbers such as
police, fire and your physician
Make copies of the list for every family member and print a copy to keep by the phone and with
your emergency supplies
Emergency Transportation
Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties encourage individuals living in hurricane evacuation
zones to have arrangements in place to stay outside of the hurricane evacuation zones during a
tropical storm or hurricane.
For those unable to make such arrangements, the American Red Cross opens Hurricane Evacuation
Centers as shelters of last resort in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. In Monroe County, shelters
will open only during Category 1 and 2 storms and will be managed by county volunteers and the
Salvation Army. Individuals that are unable to provide their own transportation to a Hurricane
Evacuation Center can use public evacuation transportation.
All counties will activate specific Emergency Evacuation Bus Pick-Up Sites as directed by their
Offices of Emergency Management. The buses will only travel between the Emergency Evacuation
Bus Pick-Up Sites and the Hurricane Evacuation Centers. Public transportation may shut down three
hours before the storm or when winds exceed 39mph.
To learn which Emergency Evacuation Bus Pick-Up Sites are active during a particular storm you
should watch Local 10 or monitor county websites:

Storm Terms
Tropical Storm Watch
An announcement that tropical storm conditions (sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph) are
possible within the specified coastal area within 48 hours.
Hurricane Watch
An announcement that hurricane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or higher) are possible
within the specified coastal area. Because hurricane preparedness activities become difficult
once winds reach tropical storm force, the hurricane watch is issued 48 hours in advance of
the anticipated onset of tropical-storm-force winds.
Hurricane Warning
An announcement that hurricane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or higher) are
expected somewhere within the specified coastal area. Because hurricane preparedness
activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, the hurricane warning is
issued 36 hours in advance of the anticipated onset of tropical-storm-force winds.
Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 categorization based on the hurricane's
intensity at the indicated time. The scale provides examples of the type of damage and
impacts in the United States associated with winds of the indicated intensity.
Storm Surge
An abnormal rise in sea level accompanying a hurricane or other intense storm, and whose
height is the difference between the observed level of the sea surface and the level that would
have occurred in the absence of the cyclone. Storm surge is usually estimated by subtracting
the normal or astronomic high tide from the observed storm tide.
Special Needs Shelters and Evacuation
Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe County residents who require daily skilled nursing care,
assistance with daily living, or have life-saving medical equipment dependent on electricity should
register for the Special Needs & Emergency Evacuation Assistance Program. This program is
specifically for those individuals who live alone or with their families, and not in a managed care
facility such as an assisted living facility (ALF) or nursing home.

2020 Statewide Emergency Shelter Plan
Evacuating locally to the home of a friend or family member outside of the evacuation area is highly
recommended. Hurricane Evacuation Centers should be utilized when that alternative does not exist.
Remember, evacuation centers are not designed for comfort and not all accept pets. This year, with
COVID-19 concerns, Emergency Management may have other advisories regarding shelters. Check
with your city.
NOT EVERY SITE WILL OPEN FOR EVERY EVACUATION
Please monitor the local radio or television, or dial 3-1-1 to find out which centers are open when an
evacuation order is announced. People who require special assistance in evacuating or would like to
register for the pet-friendly evacuation center can dial 3-1-1 to get information about specialized
evacuation centers.
The purpose of a Shelter is to provide a safe haven from the storm. DO NOT EXPECT substantial meals or
comfort items. NO MEDICAL CARE will be available at these shelters.
• Evacuation recommendation: The Mayor may recommend that certain residents take steps to evacuate
due to their personal risk. A recommendation might be issued to residents who may need extra time to
evacuate due to mobility challenges or people who live in areas prone to flooding that may not be in storm
surge inundation areas.
• Evacuation order: The Mayor may order residents of specific areas of the county deemed to be in
danger, based on a hurricane’s track and projected storm surge.
Areas of the County that should evacuate will be announced through miamidade.gov and local media.
Miami-Dade County recommends using its Storm Aides for Everyone (SAFE) application to find an updated list of facilities in
Miami-Dade County that are open. Use of the SAFE app is the way to get updated information.
• Evacuation centers
• Stores that could run on generators, including supermarkets, pharmacies and hardware stores
• Points of distribution

Monroe Evacuation Shelters
Monroe County Shelters WILL NOT BE OPENED in a Category 3, 4, or 5 Hurricane. Evacuation is mandatory
for everyone.
Monroe County residents seeking public shelter will be directed to a designated location on the mainland. This
shelter information and its’ location will be provided in a timely manner to ensure that everyone evacuates out
of the county safely. It is important for all residents to listen to the local media, Monroe County TV 76 and call
the emergency information hotline at (800) 955-5504 for detailed information.
Monroe County Special Needs residents will be transported to the Special Needs shelter at the Florida
International University in Miami. If you are a Special Needs person and will be transporting yourself, please
follow the Florida Turnpike Extension from Florida City to US 41/SW 8th Street Exit 25 and once at the FIU
campus, proceed and report to the Recreation Center at 11200 SW 8th Street.
The purpose of a Shelter is to provide a safe haven from the storm. DO NOT EXPECT substantial meals or
comfort items. If you want special foods, bedding or entertainment, you MUST provide it yourself. NO
MEDICAL CARE will be available at these shelters. If you expect to need medical care, you should make
your own arrangements to evacuate to a medical facility on the mainland.
Under Categories 1 and 2 hurricanes there will be Pet Friendly Shelters open throughout Monroe County to
allow those seeking refuge from the storm to bring their pets with them. Pet owners must bring vaccination
records, leashes, collars, appropriate size cages, food and special diet, three day water supply and bowl,
sheets, blanket, towel, muzzles, flea spray, grooming supplies, first aid kit, and any medication pet requires.
In Category 3 or higher storms, once an evacuation order has been issued, Monroe County residents, seeking
public shelter on the mainland, will be informed of the shelter locations. Please note that sheltering options
may include; Florida International University, the E. Darwin Fuchs Pavilion at the Miami-Dade County Fair &
Exposition (which will allow residents to shelter with their pets), and other facilities within Miami-Dade County,
based on their availability on a per storm basis. Information will be available via local media, TV Channel 76 as
well as both, County and Emergency Management websites.

Generator Safety and Maintenance
Staying Safe At Home With A Generator
With portable generators, it is extremely important that they are operated outside homes and
garages. They should be far enough away from living spaces that fumes will not be able to get into
open doors or windows.
After every hurricane in recent years, several of the storm-related deaths have been due to carbon
monoxide poisoning from improper use of portable generators. Install carbon monoxide detectors in
your home to keep your family safe.
Flood Safety
Do not walk through flowing water. Drowning is
the number one cause of flood related deaths,
mostly during flash floods. Currents can be
deceptive: six- inches of moving water can knock
you off your feet. If you walk in standing water,
use a pole or stick to see how deep the water is.
Call the National Flood Insurance Program In Broward County use Broward’s GIS system at:
(NFIP) at (888) 379-9531 or go to https://bcgis.broward.org/BC_Maps/InteractiveMaps.
