Flood Hazard Publications and Information
It should be noted that the City of Bradenton has identified areas of concern that are prone to flooding as a result of heavy rains. Historically, these areas and roadways have proven to become impassable by normal vehicular traffic. Therefore, extra care should be taken in the following locations:

• Riverview Boulevard along the Manatee River

• East Riverside Drive along the Manatee River
• 1000 block of East Manatee Avenue
• All roadways along Wares Creek

These locations are not certain to flood, nor are they inclusive of all that will flood. This is only a guide to identify areas prone to flooding based on past incidences.
