MIAMI BEACH HURRICANE INFORMATION CENTER
Miami Beach Hurricane Guide/Guía 2009  English | Español

The City of Miami Beach wants to ensure the safety of all its residents and visitors and urges everyone to have a plan in case of a hurricane or other emergency. We are prepared and we want to make sure that you are too. Miami Beach is located in an evacuation zone. Our hurricane information guide includes specific preparations and information for the Miami Beach community.

Hurricane Season is from June 1 through November 30. Although hurricanes have occurred outside of these six months; however, these dates were selected to encompass over 97% of tropical activity. The Atlantic basin shows a very peaked season from August through October, with 78% of the troical storm days, 87% of the minor (Saffir-Simpson Scale categories 1 and 2) hurricane days, and 96% of the major (Saffir-Simpson categories 3, 4, and 5) hurricane days occurring. Maximum activity is in early to mid September. Once in a few years, there may be a hurricane occurring "out of season" - primarily May or December.
