Ed McCrane, Sarasota County Emergency Management chief, urged Siesta Key residents at the May SKA meeting to be prepared for the 2022 hurricane season, which begins June 1. Siesta Key is in evacuation zone A so residents will be instructed to evacuate when storm surge of 10 feet or more is expected. It is important to have a plan for where you will evacuate. Residents should be prepared to be self sustaining for a week after a hurricane before County services smay be restored.
