Resolutions Adopting the Indian River County Local Mitigation Strategy

LMS 2015 Update
The Florida Division of Emergency Management has determined that the Indian River County 2015 Local Mitigation Strategy is in complience with the federal hazard mitigation planning standards.

LMS 2020 Update
Indian River County is in the process of updating our 2020 Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS), a plan identifying projects and activities aimed at reducing the impacts of natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and flooding. The 2015 LMS was reviewed and approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for compliance with the federal hazard mitigation planning standards and determined that the plan is compliant with all federal standards. The Indian River County Board of County Commissioners, on July 5, 2015, adopted the plan by Resolution No. 2015-078. The LMS was formally adopted by each municipality. Adoption of the LMS 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 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.
