HURRICANE SEASON IS JUNE 1 - NOVEMBER 30
We value and prioritize our residents and your safety, so your CERT team (comprised of resident volunteers) and your MPOA has gathered some helpful resources on this page to help you prepare for storms & natural disasters. Please be advised, during an active storm event, we will always provide community updates through our email communication system as much as possible, but it is the responsibility of each resident to utilize official local resources (Manatee County) for real-time storm alerts and action plans.
