- New 2025 Hurricane Guide & Facebook for Hurricane Corner
The Venice 2025 Hurricane Guide from the City has been completely revised from past years.
We have created a Facebook site for members of our community, and their families and friends, to be used as a communication tool (in addition to the community emails) for hurricane preparation tips as well as providing post-storm updates. We have found that there is a great need for quick updates and reports of post-storm issues and that this tool may make communication easier. It is a private Facebook site and access has to be approved. The site is “Hurricane Corner-VGRCCA (see https://www.facebook.com/groups/hurricanecornervgrcca). Please sign up for it, as we anticipate that you will be instrumental in providing valuable information after any hurricane has impacted our area.
