All residents on Lido should seek shelter when conditions warrant. Our roads are frequently underwater well in advance of a storm, restricting our evacuation routes. If you are going to leave the area, be prepared to evacuate early and head inland to avoid the high winds and heavy rains. If an evacuation is called for, and you do not evacuate, you will be without fire rescue, law enforcement or emergency medical support until winds and waters subside.
If you cannot drive to an Evacuation Center, Sarasota County will provide bus transportation for you and your pets (along with a limited amount of supplies) to and from a general population evacuation center. This program is activated only when Sarasota County has a declared county emergency, an activation is ordered, and evacuation centers are opened. Transportation rally point for for Lido Key is the Lido Beach Pavilion.

Following any major disaster, our first responders who provide fire and
medical services may not be able to immediately meet the demand for these services. Residents are initially on their own and their actions can make a difference. With basic CERT training, St, Armands and Lido Key residents can withstand power outages and put out small fires; treat the three life-threatening emergencies by opening airways, controlling bleeding, and
treating for shock; provide basic medical aid; safely search for and rescue victims; and organize themselves and spontaneous volunteers to be effective.
A local chapter of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) of St,
Armands and Lido Key is being formed. To find out more:
Sarasota County Lifeguard staff training includes passing biannual qualification testing and becoming First Responder Certified.

Rip currents are one of the most dangerous water conditions that can develop along our coastline
