Pinellas County’s Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) is a plan that assesses our community’s risk to various hazards and identifies projects to reduce loss of life and property. It is a countywide all-hazards plan looking at natural and man-made hazards.
This plan makes local governments, businesses, non-profits, and residents in the county eligible to apply for federal hazard mitigation grant funding. The LMS also serves as the county’s floodplain management plan and earns credit under the Community Rating System (CRS) program, which provides flood insurance premium discounts to each participating jurisdiction.
Your feedback on this survey is essential to improve the Plan and develop appropriate mitigation actions. It will significantly improve our understanding of the local hazard risks. It will guide us in identifying policies, actions, and mitigation strategies that best fit our mitigation goals.
