How to Register for Miami-Dade Emergency Evacuation Assistance
Pre-register before a storm if transportation, medical needs, or disability could make a standard evacuation or shelter unsafe.
Start here
Use Miami-Dade’s Emergency and Evacuation Assistance Program application or call 305-513-7700 for registrant help. The program can coordinate evacuation, special-needs sheltering, and wellness calls for eligible residents.

Steps in order
- 1
Apply before hurricane watches or warnings.
- 2
Give specific equipment, transfer, oxygen, power, and caregiver needs.
- 3
Keep the confirmation and update the program when the address or needs change.
- 4
Make a separate medication, equipment, caregiver, pet, and destination plan; registration is not a complete disaster plan.
