Local Mitigation Strategy Virtual Public Workshop

This workshop is being held as a part of our ongoing 2025 Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) 5-year update. At this workshop, we will discuss the 5-year update of the county’s LMS plan that serves as the County’s all hazards plan as well as its floodplain management plan.

The LMS plan assesses the community’s risk to natural and man-made hazards and identifies projects that will reduce loss of life and property. Having this plan in place, makes local governments, businesses, non-profits, and residents in the county, eligible to apply for federal hazard mitigation grant funding. As the county’s floodplain management plan, it also helps earn credit under the Community Rating System (CRS) program, which provides flood insurance premium discounts to each participating jurisdiction.

This is the second public workshop being held for the LMS Five-Year Update. This workshop is an opportunity for the residents and businesses to learn about the LMS plan, review, and comment on the draft LMS Plan being prepared as a part of the five-year update and share their concerns and ask questions regarding various hazard risks.
