ALACHUA COUNTY, FL - The Local Mitigation Strategy Work Group is holding a public meeting to review and discuss the Five Year Update to the Local Mitigation Strategy Plan on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, at 2 p.m., at the Alachua County Emergency Operations Center (1100 SE 27th Street, Gainesville)
Alachua County Emergency Management is coordinating the update of the Alachua County Local Mitigation Strategy Plan with the Local Mitigation Strategy Work Group, which is composed of representatives of municipal, local, regional, and state agencies, as well as non-governmental entities that are present in Alachua County.
The Alachua County Local Mitigation Strategy establishes a framework to lessen the vulnerability of Alachua County and its municipalities to hazards. The County can be vulnerable to a variety of hazards that present threats to its communities, businesses, and environment. These hazards could be natural, societal, or technological, and all have the capacity to have significant adverse human, environmental, or economic impacts on the community.
A review draft of the updated Local Mitigation Strategy Plan is posted on the Alachua County Emergency Management website.
