Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene

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

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.
