King Tide Season
King tide season is here! September king tides are expected from Tuesday, September 27 through Friday, September 30.
When king tides rise to an elevation higher than the adjacent land, flooding is often exhibited. Since Miami Beach is low-lying and near sea level, the city is particularly vulnerable to king tide flooding. Miami Beach also faces flood risk from storms, hurricanes and sea level rise and is implementing a holistic climate resilience strategy to address these flood risks.

Gas-Powered Leaf Blower Ban
The Miami Beach City Commission voted unanimously to phase out gasoline-powered leaf blowers as part of the city’s commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Similar to the city’s regulation on polystyrene and plastic straws/stirrers, the new ordinance will follow a phased implementation approach. This includes a nine-month educational period from February 1 through October 31, 2022 followed by a nine-month warning period from November 1, 2022 to July 1, 2023. Full enforcement will commence on August 1, 2023.

Seawall Ordinance
Seawalls are built to protect areas of human habitation along the coast against tides, waves, and sea level rise. Of the 55 miles of seawalls in Miami Beach, only five miles are publicly owned.
Private properties play an important role in reducing the community vulnerability of storm surge and tidal flooding. The city's seawall ordinance requires all new seawalls to be built at an elevation of 5.7’ NAVD or 4 feet NAVD if designed to support a future elevation of 5.7' NAVD.

Drain and Cover
To prevent the bite and spread of disease by mosquitoes, remember to drain and cover.
- Flush water from water-bearing plants so they don't become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Disposing of excess water at least once a week disrupts the mosquitoes' life cycle, preventing mosquito egg deposits and killing existing larvae in the process.
- Survey your garden and backyard, checking landscaping for current and future locations of standing water. Mosquitoes need as little as a bottle cap of water to reproduce, so every little bit counts.
- Eliminate all sources of standing water by emptying potential water-holding yard items, including pots, buckets and wheelbarrows weekly. Make sure to drain items more frequently following rainfall.
