There’s a town hall meeting for Miami Beach residents on the Zika threat tonight at 6 p.m. that will include the state surgeon general and Miami Beach City Manager Jimmy Morales.
The meeting, scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Waverly Condominium, 1330 West Avenue, is hosted by state Rep. David Richardson. There will be a presentation on protecting yourself and preventing the spread of Zika, as well as a question and answer session.
As you know, Miami Beach between Eight and 28th Streets has been designated by the Centers for Disease Control as a Zika zone.

Please ask about the Zika carrying mosquito’s presence in the Maurice Gibb Park children’s playground. I heard the mosquitos were found there but that it has not been publicized. Many children and pregnant mothers use the park.
Also a friend of mine and mother of two small children avoids the park but takes her kids to the beach during the day, thinking the mosquitos avoid that breezy area. Is she right?
Thanks Rick, I have been calling code enforcement for a month trying to get the Euro-American Group (31 Venetian Way) to get the standing water off their roofs. No luck whatsoever. BIRA no help either. Thanks, Monica
