🌀Hey Venice, hurricane season is June 1 to Nov. 30, reaching its highest intensity between mid-August and late October. Now is the time to prepare yourself, your family, your home, your property, or your business. 

❌MYTH: If I’ve made it through a Category 4 hurricane before with no damage, I’ll be fine the next time. 

✅REALITY: Every storm is different. A hurricane’s category is based on wind speed and potential wind damage, but it does not account for storm surge, rainfall, flooding, wind direction, or other hazards that can be just as dangerous, or more so.

This year's guide includes preparedness tips for individuals and families, homes, businesses, boats, and planes; a localized look at impacts to City services; a disaster supply checklist; myths vs. facts, like the one above; all-hazards information; a historical look at storms affecting Venice since the late 1800s; and a recap of the 2024 season, plus more. 

Printed copies of the guide will be available at the free 2-day City of Venice Hurricane & Home Expo, May 29–30, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Venice Community Center, in partnership with the Venice Gondolier. On Friday, hear from government, nonprofit, and community resources; and on Saturday, table with storm prep, landscaping, and home improvement vendors. Speakers, raffles, giveaways, and food available both days—make a weekend of it and get storm-ready!
