In remembrance of those who are no longer with us due to the pandemic, #MDFR unites in a moment of silence to honor their lives. #COVIDMemorial – at Miami, FL

This past week, #MDFR has seen people from all walks of life with one goal in common: a desire to protect themselves against #COVID19 by getting vaccinated. Omar Diaz & Maria Elena Salinas are 2 of the thousands of folks age 65+ in our community that have received their vaccines.

Under @MayorDaniella leadership, Miami-Dade County is working urgently to expand the available supply in our county so that all residents 65+ can quickly access vaccines – because getting the shot is vital in helping to ensure our community can continue to flourish.

Whether getting vaccinated for themselves or for their family, this important step will bring us closer together and towards a safer, healthier future. Together, #WeCanWeWill protect our communities.

11 years later, #MDFR still remembers the pain and suffering of the people of Haiti following a massive earthquake that caused catastrophic damage to parts of the country, leaving millions of people displaced. We will never forget.

Keep the Holiday Season joyful and #FireSafe by watering your natural #Christmas tree daily! A hydrated tree reduces the chance of your tree to ignite and start a fire.
