Disaster Assistance Program
Sarasota County has a disaster assistance program in the event of an emergency, such as, hurricane, fire, etc. In the event vendors' services would be required, response time is very critical. This outside support would be required within eight hours of notification.

If a vendors' firm or agency would like to be included in the Sarasota County Disaster Assistance Program, complete the Disaster Assistance Program application and fax it to Sarasota County Asset Management. Insure that the form, located under resources, is completely filled out and the appropriate classifications of products/services you can provide are checked. All information will be kept on file.
