Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
Overview
The Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) is a multi-hazard plan which identifies local hazards, vulnerabilities, and potential mitigation solutions. This FEMA-approved plan is required to be eligible for federal mitigation grants and must be updated every five years.
The planning process requires the development of an LMS Working Group comprised of county staff, municipal representatives, special districts, relevant state agencies, local nonprofits, and any interested residents or businesses. The LMS Working Group meets publicly every quarter to review the plan and any new or ongoing mitigation projects. For any questions or suggestions regarding St. Johns County Local Mitigation Strategy please contact: lnleson@sjcfl.us.
