Remember the special needs of your family members. Infants, the elderly and persons with disabilities need the same planning as everyone else, and sometimes a little more, to be prepared for an emergency.
Miami-Dade residents who on a daily basis require skilled nursing care, assistance with daily living, or have life-saving medical equipment dependent on electricity should register with the Emergency Evacuation Assistance Program (EEAP). If you would like to apply for the Emergency Evacuation Assistance Program, please review the applicant instructions.
