STAY PREPARED FOR IMPACT OF HURRICANE DORIAN
The City of Hallandale Beach continues to pay close attention to the storm by following the National Hurricane Center for latest storm information and partnering with the County and State Emergency Management Divisions. Hurricane Dorian has had a very unpredictable path so far, and we must all continue to prepare for sudden changes.  We urge residents to stay off the roads and remain indoors until the storm passes.

Here are a few updates:

• Shelters: Three County Shelters have opened.  There are no shelter locations in the City of Hallandale Beach. Please contact the county for more information by dialing 3-1-1.  There is no mandatory evacuation order. Shelters are open as an option for those in high-risk areas.

• Due to the unpredictable nature of the storm and the variable wind conditions, all City Services, including Sanitation Trash collection services, have been suspended until further notice. We will send out a notification once we return to normal operations.
• Residents should not put bulk items out at this time. Bulk items left out as the storm approaches can become harmful projectiles in high winds. Secure trash bins, containers, and external objects.
