Check Miami-Dade Transit rider alerts before travel and allow extra time for Metrorail single-tracking and Metrobus shuttle delays (see source).
Avoid private in-person transactions for high-value items: do not get into strangers’ vehicles meet in well-lit public places and limit carrying large amounts of cash (Doral incident referenced).
If you need elevator access at affected stations, ask station guards for assistance (Metrorail alert advises this).
Monitor the 7-day forecast — thunderstorms are likely mid-late week — and adjust outdoor plans for Oct 16–18.
Prefer cashless payments when possible for marketplace purchases to reduce risk of robbery (Doral incident involved $4,000 in cash).
