MANATEE COUNTY, FL (Nov. 11, 2020) – Manatee County Emergency officials have issued a voluntary evacuation notice for residents of Anna Maria Island and other low-lying, flood-prone areas. Anna Maria Island is now in the southernmost edge of a Tropical Storm Warning by the National Weather Service, a warning that has triggered local officials to take multiple steps to prepare the community. Tropical storm winds are most likely to arrive today by 2 p.m. and last into the night. Manatee Schools students will shift to an e-learning schedule for the rest of this week as two schools are being opened for public shelters of last refuge. Manatee High School and Mills Elementary schools will open today by noon at limited capacity to those who cannot find friends, family or other shelter. Public beaches are closed today and tomorrow as the parking lots of those areas become staging sites for sandbag distribution. In addition to the two County sandbag sites, Island residents and City of Bradenton residents have sandbag pickup options today, all detailed on the sandbag area of the County's website. Earlier this week Public Safety Director Jacob Saur and Emergency Management Chief Steve Litschauer say Manatee County's barrier islands are most vulnerable to flooding tonight when rains of between 3-5 inches will arrive, accompanied by storm surge of 2-5 feet. #eta #sarasota #bradenton #venice
