1. Avoid driving through floodwaters: If you encounter flooded roads, turn around and find an alternate route. Remember, “Turn around, don’t drown!”

2. Safeguard important documents: Place vital documents in sealed plastic bags or waterproof containers to prevent water damage.

3. Prepare emergency supplies: Start gathering emergency hurricane supplies before June 1st to ensure you’re ready for the season.

4. Protect power lines: Trim back any vegetation growing closer than 6 feet from power lines. Ideally, trim vegetation before it reaches within six feet of the lines to maintain safety and prevent power disruptions.

5. Steer clear of downed power lines: Always stay away from downed power lines, as electricity can travel through water and pose a serious hazard.

6. Refrain from walking through floodwater: Even just six inches of moving water can knock you off your feet. Additionally, floodwaters may contain toxins, animals, or sewage, which can be harmful to your health.

National Endangered Species Act Celebration

This year we are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Endangered Species Act! During this month we reflect and recognize the importance of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Since then, we have achieved some success as delisting the Gray Whale. However, we cannot rest, as several species each year continue to qualify as endangered. Do you know which species in South Florida are listed as Endangered? You can check the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service at https://www.fws.gov/species. Our manatees, living in Biscayne Bay, are protected under the Endangered Species Act. You can help by reporting injured or distressed manatees to the Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922 or by getting the Save the Manatees specialty license plates.
