It’s time for you to update your Emergency Information
WHY SHOULD I UPDATE MY EMERGENCY INFORMATION?
In the event of an emergency, Sarasota County Emergency Management Operations (Police, Fire, Ambulance, and EMT teams) will not be dispatched when sustained winds are over 45 mph. If there are injuries or property damage, Willowbend residents might need to be able to take care of themselves for up to a week after an event.
Residents' Emergency information, such as special needs, pets, hazardous materials in the house, equipment available for community use in emergency, helps us act together for our mutual benefit
HOW DO I UPDATE?
To review and update your Emergency Information, follow these steps:
1. Log on to willowbendcommunity.com and click on "USER LOGIN" at the top right of the first screen.

He will respond with your login and password.
2. Click on the "Data Pages Main Menu" link at the bottom of the left menu, and then click on "Emergency Information for [your address] on that menu.
3. Review your Emergency Information. If there are no changes, click on "Emergency Information is Up-to-Date" and this will automatically update the date that you reviewed your information.

All of Willowbend is in either the orange or yellow zones. That suggests a storm coming East from the Gulf could create a surge that would require evacuation. That need would be determined by the Sarasota government emergency management and could be either voluntary or mandatory.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU HAVE A PLAN!
