Wershifany — City of Miami Pilot

One page for Miami residents and officials: who actually holds each power over fuel storage tanks, what to do in an emergency, and how this pilot records your report and queues it for review by the right desk.

Active spill or danger right now?

If there is danger, call 911 first. Then report the release to the Florida State Watch Office 1-800-320-0519 (24 h) and the National Response Center 1-800-424-8802. Florida law requires reporting a release within 24 hours of discovery. Wershifany's forms record and queue reports for review — they never replace these official calls.

Who do I call about a tank in Miami?

The #1 citizen confusion, answered. The City of Miami has no tank office — here is exactly who holds each power.

City of Miami

No tank office

Zoning, business tax receipts, and municipal building/fire permits — which by law (Ch. 24) cannot be issued for tank work without county tank-program approval. The city does not register tanks, run tank inspections, or enforce tank rules — that power sits with the county and the state.

Miami-Dade RER-DERM

County enforcement · Ch. 24

For officials: what this pilot proves

A city watchtower desk watches two pilot stations in Miami — read-only, every record attributed to its official source.
A referral travels from the city desk to the county inbox with its legal citation — and comes back closed. Tested end-to-end in pilot drills.
Every public form states what it is: a pilot intake that records and queues reports for review — never an agency filing.

Wershifany is a pilot platform. Pilot records are not official agency records. In an emergency, always call 911 and the Florida State Watch Office 1-800-320-0519 (24 h).
