The Local Mitigation Strategy meetings have concluded for 2009. The draft LMS plan has been submitted to the state for review. The schedule for 2010 will be posted when we receive comments. Thank you for your continued participation.
Indian River County Emergency Management is requesting the participation of members of the public as well as community and business leaders to help review and implement the county's Local Mitigation Strategy. All of our LMS meetings are opened to the public for either full-time membership or casual participation.
LMS Update
Indian River County is currently updating its Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS), a plan identifying projects and activities aimed at reducing the impacts of natural disasters such as hurricane, tornadoes, and flooding.
The current Local Mitigation Strategy was approved by FEMA on February 22, 2005. The adopting jurisdictions are: City of Vero Beach, Town of Indian River Shores, City of Sebastian, Town of Orchid, City of Fellsmere, and Indian River County. All hazard mitigation plans must be reviewed, updated and resubmitted to FEMA for approval every five (5) years. We would like to allow the public an opportunity to review the "Draft" Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) Plan 2010 update. The LMS Working Group will have a series of meetings prior to submission to FEMA for approval and everyone is encouraged to review the draft and provide comments or ask questions.
Adoption of the Local Mitigation Strategy is an eligibility requirement for various hazard mitigation grant programs.
Our LMS meetings are open to the public and we encourage everyone interested to attend and participate in our process. Our efforts are for the benefit of our citizens; we want you, our community residents and visitors, to help provide us the direction that provides you the most benefit from our activities.
A working draft is currently available for public review. We encourage comments and feedback from anyone willing to take the time to review the documents and email or call us. We read and address every comment.
Regular meetings will be held at the Indian River County Emergency Operations Center. Please check this website for the meeting schedule.
Please contact the LMS Vice Chairperson, Brian Nolan at (772) 226-3852 or bnolan@ircgov.com with any comments, changes, or feedback you may have.
