Polk County will hold a Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group Meeting on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. at the Polk County Emergency Operations Center, 1890 Jim Keene Boulevard, Winter Haven, Florida 33880<\/a>. The county is in the process of preparing a Five-Year Update to the Polk County Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Five-Year Update to the LMS will: reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts and changes in priorities that have occurred since the last adoption; develop a comprehensive risk analysis that can be used as the risk analysis for other emergency planning documents; provide analysis of critical facilities; and review and propose amendments, if necessary, to the Evaluation and Prioritization Process. Projects identified in an approved Local Mitigation Plan are eligible for federal hazard mitigation grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polk County Emergency Management is inviting members of the public, as well as community and business leaders, to help update the county\u2019s Local Mitigation Strategy. All the LMS Working Group meetings are open to the public for either full-time membership or casual participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
