Hurricane season runs June through November in Miami-Dade County. Smart homeowners know that preparation includes more than just buying supplies - it means clearing potential projectiles from your property.
Why Debris Clearance Matters
During a hurricane, anything not secured becomes a projectile. That old patio furniture, construction materials in the yard, or dead tree branches can cause serious damage when winds hit.
Common Yard Hazards
- Dead branches and palm fronds
- Old furniture and grills
- Construction materials and lumber
- Potted plants and yard decorations
- Trash cans and recycling bins
Pre-Season Cleanup Checklist

Outdoor Living Areas
- Store or secure patio furniture
- Bring in lightweight items
- Clear pool areas of loose items
