Ever wonder what Emergency Management does during major events?

Our role is to support coordination among partner agencies, monitor conditions, share information, and help ensure resources are available if needed.

Changing weather conditions may increase smoke impacts in parts of Miami-Dade. Be prepared for reduced visibility and potential air quality concerns, especially during the early morning hours. Monitor conditions and adjust outdoor activities as needed.

[Miami-Dade County EM @MiamiDadeEM]

Smoke from nearby brush fires can reduce visibility on area roadways, sometimes with little warning.

If you encounter smoky conditions while driving:
• Slow down and increase following distance.
• Use your low-beam headlights.
• Avoid sudden stops or lane changes.
• Keep windows closed and set your A/C to recirculate.
• If visibility becomes severely limited, safely pull off the roadway and wait for conditions to improve.

Stay alert, allow extra travel time, and check road conditions before heading out. For real-time traffic updates, visit https://t.co/yJcI3rHQro.
