Stay Safe & Report Flooding

Please avoid driving, walking or parking in low-lying areas prone to flooding. Never drive or walk through floodwaters. If you must drive, reduce your speed to help limit wake and flooding impacts on surrounding properties and vehicles. 



If you come across any flooding that obstructs access or causes damage to public or private property, please call 305.673.7625, report it through the Miami Beach Gov app or email flooding@miamibeachfl.gov.

Floodwater Safety Tips

• Do not walk through floodwaters. It only takes 6 inches of moving water to knock you off your feet. There may be hazards like pollutants and debris that are not visible in the water.
• Avoid driving through floodwaters for your safety and to prevent vehicle damage.
• Don’t speed — waves worsen flooding effects in neighborhoods.
• Do not use hazard lights while driving. Use them only when stopped.
• Road closures may occur as a result of flooding. Sign up for our traffic and emergency updates by texting MBAlert to 888777.
• Wash your car thoroughly if it comes into contact with floodwaters, including the undercarriage. Floodwaters are high in salinity and could damage your vehicle.
• To prevent water from backing up in a dwelling, decrease water use during heavy rains. Avoid flushing toilets, running dishwashers and washing machines. Take shorter showers, use less water in the bathtub and turn off sprinklers.
• Be sure to have a current flood insurance policy for your home or business. It is required for most properties and encouraged for all.
• Protect your property by investing in flood risk mitigation, such as using flood-resistant materials, elevating major appliances and raising your home.
