Heavy Rainfall from Invest 90L

The South Florida Water Management District (District) operates the regional water management system and we are continuing to experience heavy rainfall from Invest 90L. The District will continue to actively monitor, manage and adjust our primary water management system throughout the entire rain event.

Coastal structures in Miami-Dade and Broward counties are operating at maximum capacity.

The SFWMD is deploying resources and utilizing structures to move water away from communities as quickly as possible.

The SFWMD continues to strongly encourage all secondary local governments and special districts to continue to monitor the forecast as more rain moves into the area and ensure their systems and storm drains are cleared.

Much of the Central and Southern Florida region has an interconnected water management system, and flood control is a shared responsibility between county/city governments, local drainage districts, communities (including Homeowner Associations or HOAs), and the District. The District continues to work with our drainage partners to provide as much drainage as possible in impacted areas.

Reminders for Residents and Visitors

  • If you face life-threatening flooding or are in imminent danger, call 9-1-1.
  • Avoid driving through flooded areas. When in doubt, turn around.
  • Ensure debris, trash cans, and other items are secured and cannot clog drainage ways.
  • Monitor any announcements from your County's Emergency Operations Center.
  • Do not drink, wade, or swim in floodwaters.
  • Read the infographic Rain Drain: What to Expect in Your Neighborhood When It Rains for a close-up look at the interconnected drainage system.

Flooded roads, swales and ditches are expected during and after heavy rain events. In the event water is impacting your home, please report the flooding to your local drainage operator. Type in your address and look up your local drainage operator at SFWMD.gov/FloodControl.
