VGRC Annual Community Hurricane Preparation Meet June 2nd at 5pm

Each year, the Community Association hosts a hurricane preparation meeting for members of the community. Attendance at last year’s meeting was fantastic, including standing room only for late comers and residents commented on how informative it was. Each year there is a wealth of new information shared by our speakers as they reveal changes that may be made because of the previous year’s hurricane season. This year it is predicted that the hurricane season may rival last year’s season and, to that end, education and preparation will be key.

This year’s meeting will be on Monday, June 2nd, at 5:00 pm in the River Club.

In addition to our usual speakers, namely, Assistant City Manager James Clinch and Fire Chief Frank Giddens, the Emergency Manager Chief for Sarasota County, Susan Tapfumaneyei, will also speak. This will be a very informative meeting and will provide community members a forum to ask pressing questions.

As a reminder, here is a map of the 2024 hurricanes. See details here.

New 2025 Hurricane Guide & Important Date

The Venice 2025 Hurricane Guide from the City has been completely revised from past years.

The Venetian’s Annual Hurricane Community Meeting coordinated by the Hurricane Response Team (HRT) has been scheduled for Monday, June 2nd, 5 pm at the River Club. With the start of the hurricane season on June 1st plus the “Mother Nature“ experience that this community encountered last hurricane season, it is strongly recommended that residents attend this highly beneficial meeting. 

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.
