Open Shelters in South Miami Dade
We have an urgent and quick action this morning ahead of Hurricane Irma's path to south Florida (it's expected to hit there early Saturday morning).
Local organizers in Miami have said that there are no hurricane shelters to service the south Miami Dade community (including Perrine, Cutler Bay, Homestead, Florida City, Leisure City, Goulds, Naranja, Richmond Heights, and West Perrine among other rural areas). These areas are historically the most vulnerable to hurricanes, economically challenged, and underserved. Most of the current evacuation shelters open are located in central and north parts of the county.
They need us to call Gov Rick Scott and Commissioner Moss to reopen the shelters immediately. See details below!
