We are recognizing our EMS team members who have received the Blood Administration Award.

This award recognizes employees who have successfully participated in administering blood to a patient as part of their emergency care.

Pictured are just some of the team members who have received this recognition. We’re proud to recognize the skill and training they bring to patient care.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.

Behind every number is a person, a family and a community affected by overdose.

We’re proud that Manatee County has been recognized by the state as a top-performing county for reducing overdose deaths, and we’re proud of the work happening every day to make that progress possible.

But the work doesn’t end here. We continue finding ways to put resources where they can make a difference, including wall-mounted Narcan boxes at the DeSoto, Downtown and Palmetto bus stations for use during an overdose emergency.

Free Narcan is also available to Manatee County residents by request, and free overdose response training is available through our website, by visiting https://bit.ly/4zLHMHB.

Help us help those who need it. Knowing how to recognize an overdose and respond can save a life.

The weekend is here, and for a lot of us, that means pool time.

Before everyone jumps in, take a minute to make sure safety is part of the plan:

• Designate a Water Watcher who stays focused on the kids in the water.
• Keep pools secured with proper barriers.
• Make sure drain covers are secure and in good condition.
• If a child is missing, check the water first.

A few simple steps can help make pool time a lot safer.

It’s Thursday. What does that mean? Nothing. It’s just Thursday. (OK, one more day until Friday.)

But why not use this Thursday to remind you about something actually useful: Alert Manatee.

If you haven’t signed up yet, you can customize your preferences to receive the alerts that matter to you, manage how you’re notified and set quiet hours.

We’ve heard you: “I don’t want alerts on my phone at 3 a.m.” We get it. Nobody wants that.

With Alert Manatee, you can set quiet hours so you’re not getting notifications overnight. Just keep in mind that tornado warnings cannot be turned off during quiet hours. Those are the alerts we really, really want you to get.

And one more thing: Weather alerts are issued by the National Weather Service. (Yes, we’ve gotten those calls.)

Already signed up? You can update your preferences anytime.

Sign up or manage your settings at mymanatee.org/alertmanatee.

Happy National Dog Day to our favorite Public Safety pup, Sei! 🐾

Everyone knows he’s cute, but he’s also a professional morale booster, expert treat inspector, unofficial office greeter and full-time good boy.

We’re pretty lucky to have him around. ❤️

Hurricane season is still underway, and preparedness is ongoing.

As you continue your family’s emergency planning, don’t forget to check in on the older adults in your life. If a loved one may need transportation or shelter assistance during an evacuation, make sure they are registered for Manatee County’s Special Needs Registry at mymanatee.org/needs.

For more tips on preparing for the rest of hurricane season, visit mymanatee.org/storm.

A look at some of our recent weekly call volume across Manatee County.

These numbers represent calls handled by our EMS crews, 911 telecommunicators and other first responders throughout our community.

Thank you to all of our Public Safety teams for showing up every day and taking care of our community.

We saw the comments. 👀

So, what is Manatee County doing to prepare for flooding during hurricane season? More than you might think.

Here’s a look at some of the work happening before the next storm.

We recently shared how the generosity of our healthcare partners helped our Community Health Program collect dozens of new, reusable water bottles to distribute to people in need throughout our community.

This week, our Community Health team distributed more than 250 water bottles at Hunger’s End in Bradenton. Each person also received a hygiene kit, hydration packet and first aid kit.

It was a hot day, but our team was glad to be there, connect with the community in need and help provide some essentials during the summer heat.
