Community Workshop for Polk County LMS Update

February 3, 2015 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Update to the Local Mitigation Strategy

Polk County seeks Community Input for Hazard Risk Assessments and Proposed Mitigation Projects

The County requests the public’s attendance at the Community Open House scheduled on Tuesday, February 3, 2015 beginning at 4:30 PM, to review the LMS process and provide input on hazard risk assessments and potential mitigation projects for the 5-year update to the Polk County Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS), as described below.

The County is preparing a 5-Year Update to the Polk County Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS).  This document addresses hazard mitigation planning for the County, the 17 cities within Polk County, the Polk County School Board, and other interested agencies and stakeholders.  The Update will:

  • Reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities that have occurred since the last adoption;
  • Provide a comprehensive risk analysis that can be used for other emergency planning documents;
  • Provide analysis of critical facilities; and
  • Review and propose amendments (if needed) to the Evaluation and Prioritization Process.

If you have any questions, please contact Paul Womble with the Polk County Emergency Management Department at paulwomble@polkfl.com or at (863) 298-7002 or Marisa Barmby with the Central Florida Regional Planning Council at mbarmby@cfrpc.org or at (863) 534-7130 ext 110.
