City of Miami Draft Extreme Heat Plan
In response to extreme heat Miami experienced last summer, the City has developed a Draft Heat Season Plan that outlines actions related to shading, cooling, and initial design that can address ambient heat, especially during Heat Season (May 1 – October 31).
The City is currently finalizing the plan and integrating public comments. Stay tuned for the final plan!
What’s Included in the Draft Plan?
This Heat Season Plan is organized into three cooling solutions and a Heat Response Protocol detailing actions departments will take during Heat Season and Heat Events.

- SHADE: Includes actions to help people stay cool in shaded environments.
- WATER: Includes actions to help people stay cool and hydrated by increasing access to water resources.
- DESIGN: Includes actions to help people stay cool in their homes and at work.
