Just as many are doing so now, the City of Hallandale Beach is paying close attention to the storm by following the National Hurricane Center for latest storm information.
City staff encourages residents and business owners to make necessary preparations for the anticipation of Hurricane Dorian.
At this moment, Residents should be in the process of implementing their hurricane plans. Now is a good time to gather necessary items such as gasoline for vehicles, water for consumption, and non-perishable food items, in case there is a loss of power.
Here are a few updates from City Emergency Operations:
- A State of Emergency has been declared for the City of Hallandale Beach. As a result, the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) has been partially activated. Should you have questions about the storm please call Broward County’s 3-1-1 hotline, for Hallandale Beach specific questions you can call our hotline at (954) 266-5320 starting this evening.
- Sandbag Distribution: In anticipation of King Tide and Flooding, the City is making sand bags available ahead of the possible storm starting tomorrow morning. Hallandale Beach will provide the bags, sand and shovels. There is a 10 bag limit per household and residents are required to fill the bags themselves. Hallandale Beach residents with proof of residency (Photo ID) and Hallandale Beach Business owners with proof of ownership can pick up bags tomorrow (Friday, 8/30) from 7am - 7pm at Big Easy Casino entering off NE 1st Ave.

- Our social media pages are the best source for City-specific information. We ask the public to stay tuned to local media for information on shelters and government office closures. The City of Hallandale Beach will use #HBEmergency and #HBDorian to provide relevant city operational information via social media channels.
