The expo will have various experts on hand to assist you in preparing for storms. Presentations will be given by the National Weather Service and North Port Emergency Management, as well as the new Sarasota County Emergency Management Chief, Sandra Tapfumaneyi. The Sarasota County Long-Term Recovery Group will have a presence at the expo, offering information about Hurricane Ian resources currently available to effected residents.
