• Spanish is the first language for the majority of residents in Miami. It’s common for people to address each other in Spanish, so it would be useful to pick up some basic Spanish before your move.

• Local newspapers like The Miami Herald and The Miami New Times are useful for getting to know your city. These newspapers cover local politics, cultural news, and community happenings. Subscribing to these papers will help you get accustomed to the city quicker.
• Hurricanes and tropical storms are common in Miami.  It’s important to have a weather radio so you can be prepared. A hurricane kit is a must for living in Miami and should include items like: water, canned food, blankets, outerwear, flashlights, first aid kit, toiletries, and cash. Important documents such as your social security card, passport, and similar documents should be prepared in advance for these situations, as well.

• Traffic jams are a frequent occurrence in Miami. If your commute consists of driving during peak hours of the work week, then you should dedicate extra time to your commute.
