Special Needs Letter, Checklists, and Application Hurricane Season begins June 1 and runs through the end of November. You will need to evacuate your home from a pending hurricane, ONLY if you are power dependent or live in an evacuation zone or in a mobile home.  Residents are encouraged to use public sheltering only if no other options exist. Options may include staying with a friend, relative or at a hotel that is not in an evacuation zone. It is important to realize that shelter life is very basic and can be a difficult, crowded experience. You may wish to leave the area well in advance of a pending hurricane.

If you should need evacuation transportation or will require sheltering assistance, pre-registering will help expedite the process. This  form is required to register for sheltering or transportation assistance to an American Red Cross shelter, assisted care shelter, hospital or nursing home. Please complete and return the form to Manatee County Emergency Management, PO Box 1000, Bradenton, Florida 34206-1000.  Each year you will need to update and return the form.
