Join Jerry's Squad to Help Neighbors Before and After Hurricanes

Community By Linda Trischitta Thursday, June 18, 2026

The Town of Miami Lakes and the Elderly Affairs Committee are seeking volunteers to join Jerry’s Squad, a team of helpers before and after hurricanes.

Squad members help elders and disabled neighbors batten down their hatches and put up shutters on doors and ground floor windows before storms, and restore order afterward.

 The squad jumps into action when a hurricane watch is issued for South Florida.

 To apply for help from Jerry’s Squad go to this link: TinyUrl.com/y62nx8kx. The application must be notarized. For notary assistance contact Noah Maklouf at makloufn@miamilakes-fl.gov to schedule an appointment in Town Hall.
