  June 1^st was not only the first day of the hurricane season, but also the day that Sandra Tapfumaneyi, Chief of Emergency Management for Sarasota County, James Clinch, Venice City Manager and Frank Giddens, Fire Department Chief educated and motivated our community about the need for hurricane preparedness.  They presented information on how to prepare for storm emergencies and explained the roles and responsibilities shared by their three organizations in preparing for and responding to storms.

  Sandra, James and Frank were each presented with a plaque indicating our appreciation for speaking at our event and for what they do for our community. The members of the HRT had their pictures taken with each speaker.

  The River Club room was largely filled with members of the community, some of whom attend this event annually and others who are new to the community.  The audience warmly applauded the HRT members who were recognized for their commitment and service.  Several photos of this event are shown above.

  We encourage residents who are interested in learning about hurricane preparedness and about volunteer opportunities with our HRT to explore the information on the Hurricane Corner page of this website.

• New 2026 Hurricane Guide & Facebook for Hurricane Corner

  

  The Venice 2026 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.
