Do Not Feed Community Cats

The City of Miami Beach community cat population is actively managed through the city’s Cat Program and is cared for by designated registered cat feeders who follow established feeding and colony-management protocols while abiding by all city ordinances.

If you are not a registered feeder with the city, please do not feed the cats. Unregistered feeding can interfere with the TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) Program which provides medical intervention and adoption placement. To ensure successful trapping, our registered cat feeders are notified in advance and asked to temporarily withhold food as part of the coordinated trapping process. When cats are fed prior to scheduled trapping, they are less likely to enter the traps, which can delay urgently needed medical care, sterilization and placement opportunities.

Our goal is to ensure that our city remains beautiful and welcoming for our residents and visitors, while continuing to provide responsible and humane care for the cats who live here.

If you or anyone you know are interested in volunteering or becoming a registered feeder, visit https://linktr.ee/sobecatsvolunteer and fill out an application.

Dispose of Yard Waste Properly, Keep the Bay Healthy!

Keeping landscaping debris out of storm drains and waterways can help reduce flooding and improve water quality. Leaves, grass clippings and other vegetative matter can clog storm drains and cause excess nutrients to runoff into waterways, harming water quality and marine life in Biscayne Bay.

Under the Water Quality Ordinance, lawn clippings and other yard waste are considered pollutants when they enter our waterways. Don’t blow or rake leaves and other debris into the street where they can end up in storm drains or nearby waterways.

For more information, visit MBRisingAbove.com or contact sustainability@miamibeachfl.gov

Do Not Drive Through Floodwaters

King tides and heavy rain can cause flooding on some streets and low-lying areas throughout our city. Please avoid driving through floodwaters both for your safety and to prevent vehicle damage.

If you must drive, don’t speed — waves worsen flooding effects in neighborhoods.

FPL Storm Safety Tips

Hurricane season is here and staying prepared helps keep you and your family safe. Florida Power & Light (FPL) works year‑round to strengthen the grid and train crews so they’re ready to respond when severe weather arrives – and we encourage our community to take a few simple steps to stay storm‑ready too:

• Create and share an emergency plan with your household
• Stock up on essentials like batteries, flashlights, a radio, non‑perishable food, water and medications
• Have a qualified professional trim trees near your home before storm season
• Bookmark FPL.com/Storm, download the FPL Mobile App and save 1.800.4.OUTAGE (1.800.468.8243) in your phone
•  If you ever see a downed power line, keep a safe distance and call 911 and 1.800.4.OUTAGE



A little preparation makes a big difference. Stay informed, stay ready and stay safe. For more helpful storm resources, visit FPL.com/storm.

Fight the Bite

Take precautions against mosquito-borne illness by applying bug spray, avoiding areas with high mosquito populations and wearing long pants and long-sleeve shirts when possible – especially during sunrise and sunset when mosquitoes are most active.

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.

Pick Up After Your Pet

Pet waste can take a huge toll on the environment if it is not cleaned up properly. It is a contributing pollutant that affects our water quality. Support the efforts of Operation Clean Water by picking up after your dog. Forgot your pet waste bag? No problem! Pet waste stations are located throughout the city. Learn more.

Don't Be Trashy

#DontBeTrashy! Litter can clog stormwater drains and worsen flooding, harming water quality and marine life. To help, dispose of trash properly and use marked recycling receptacles.

Let's all do our part to keep our beautiful Miami Beach community clean.

Fair Housing Spotlight

Our last fair housing spotlight mentioned that 99% of housing tractions must adhere to fair housing law. We would like to follow up by mentioning that there are rare examples where an individual selling or renting a property or properties may not have to follow most aspects of fair housing law. We say most because there are no exceptions to the law that racial discrimination in a housing transaction is illegal. These circumstances are unusual and most landlords and property sellers will always have to follow fair housing law.



We know this can be confusing so for more information and advice please give Housing Opportunities Project for Excellence (HOPE), Inc. a call at 305.651.4673. We will be happy to explain to you exactly how fair housing law pertains to whatever unique housing related situation you find yourself in.
