Miami-Dade County and North Bay Village have declared a state of emergency. We encourage our residents to take precaution and prepare. Village Offices & Postal Services will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday , October 9 &10th.

Storm Monitoring and Preparations:

* NBV Public Works crews have been using a vacuum truck to clean storm drain basins and remove any blockage or debris.
* A high-volume pump has been installed on North Bay Island as a precautionary measure.
* An additional high-volume pump has been rented and will be installed on Treasure Island.
* Inlet filter storm screens have been removed from Treasure Island and North Bay Island.

Flood Preparation:

* Sandbags are no longer available at this time. The Village will announce when supplies become available.

Landscaping and Debris:

* Do NOT leave any debris or tree branches at the end of the street. Avoid putting yard waste by the curb. Any landscaping debris must be removed prior to tropical storm-force winds affecting our area. This precaution is also due to concerns about flooding potentially causing debris to drift.

Garbage Pick-Up CANCELLED:

* Garbage pick-up for Thursday has been cancelled.

Expected Conditions:

* Heavy rainfall through Thursday morning.
* Possible flooding in low-lying areas.
* Possible storm-force winds.

Resident Preparedness:

* Secure any loose items on your balconies, patios, or in your yards that could become hazardous projectiles during a storm. This includes furniture, unsecured structures, stored materials, pool equipment, marine assets and construction items. Failure to comply will result in fines and penalties.
* Stay informed by following official Village communications and local weather reports.
* Use caution driving and avoid flooded streets.

Stay safe and be prepared!
