The State of Florida, Miami-Dade County, and the City of Coral Gables have declared a State of Emergency in response to Hurricane Milton, which formed Sunday and is expected to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane that will hit Florida’s Gulf Coast late Tuesday. Heavy rainfall and flooding are expected across South Florida through early next week. Rainfall associated with Milton is expected mid-week and could exacerbate flooding.
A flood watch is in effect for all of South Florida as multiple rounds of heavy rainfall are expected through Monday, and may lead to localized flooding. Additional rounds of heavy rainfall will be possible associated with Tropical Storm Milton around the middle of next week.
Residents living in flood-prone areas may park their cars at Garage 4, 385 Andalusia Ave., with a valid driver's license with proof of Coral Gables residency.
As a reminder:
• Do not trim trees or leave loose debris out; they can become dangerous projectiles with storm-grade winds.
• Keep storm drains clear of litter, debris and green matter to minimize flooding.
• Report any signs of flooding via the city’s 311 app/website.
• Download the Everbridge app or text "CoralGables" to 888-777 to get the latest emergency updates.
