Alachua County Emergency Management invites the public to participate in the Alachua County Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2025, from 2 to 4 p.m. The meeting is in person at the Alachua County Emergency Operations Center (1100 SE 27th St., Gainesville).
This meeting continues the multi-step process of updating the county’s Local Mitigation Strategy Plan, which is updated on a five-year cycle. This meeting will review the draft version of the plan.
“This working group is responsible for maintaining the Local Mitigation Strategy Plan,” said Alachua County Emergency Management Director Jen Grice. “The document is intended to guide efforts to protect life, property, and the environment from natural or technological hazards.”
Membership in the working group is open to all jurisdictions, county government, private organizations, civic organizations, trade and commercial support groups, property owners’ associations, authorized tribal organizations, state agencies, regional planning councils, independent special districts, and non-profit organizations.
