Polygon feature class of Storm Surge Planning Zones within Miami-Dade County. These are areas endangered by Sea & Lake Overland Surge from Hurricane (SLOSH) and areas may be requiring evacuation. Used to identify Storm Surge Planning Zones based on storm intensity.Updated: As Needed The data was created using: Projected Coordinate System: WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_SphereProjection: Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere

The Miami-Dade County storm surge planning zones are drawn using Sea, Lake and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model grids that incorporate local physical features such as geographic coastal area, bay and river shapes, water depths, bridges, etc. Areas in Miami-Dade along canals, rivers and further inland have been identified as being at risk for storm surge based on this data.

Areas in Miami-Dade along canals, rivers and further inland have been identified as being at risk for storm surge based on this data.

Each zone or portions will be evacuated depending on the hurricane’s track and projected storm surge, independent of the hurricane’s category.

Upon identification of a threat the EOC or County Mayor will use local media to relay pertinent information, such as evacuations and shelter openings. It is important that you monitor the news for this information. For additional information go to https://miamidade.gov/hurricane.

For those individuals who do not have their own transportation to the Evacuation Centers, this is provided by Miami-Dade via emergency evacuation bus pick-up sites throughout the County's evacuation zones.

This group of layers was developed by the Balmoral Group and contains the transportation and evacuation route layers as defined in 380.093(2)(a) Florida Statutes. The layers were sourced from various public State of Florida and Federal Sources. Transportation and evacuation routes include airports, bridges, bus terminals, ports, major roadways, marinas, rail facilities, and railroad bridges. Typically, the data are utilized in various vulnerability assessments in evaluating the exposure and sensitivity from combined events of sea level rise, precipitation, major storms, and flooding. The data will also be used in efforts to complete a comprehensive statewide assessment for the State of Florida.

A polygon feature class of areas endangered by Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) and areas requiring evacuation.

The Florida Inter-operable Picture Processing for Emergency Response (FLIPPER) is a common operating picture and situational awareness application used by Miami-Dade OEM and first responders. This is an interactive web mapping tool used to display geographic information from a variety of internal and external sources, such as live weather data, storm surge, active hurricane tracks, demographic data, traffic streaming cameras, live traffic and accidents, road closures, and others. FLIPPER also displays map layers that include Storm Surge Planning Zone (Know Your Zone), Evacuation Order, fire and police stations, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parks, roadway network, and aerial photography. This tool is integrated into the EOC’s disaster management tool, WebEOC®, which provides live data about the status of Evacuation Centers, Points of Distributions (POD) and Disaster Assistance Centers (DAC).Credits (Attribution): Miami-Dade County
