Purpose of Local Mitigation Strategy
The Joint Unified Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) presented here represents a plan to promote mitigation initiatives to improve resilience to hazards posing a threat to communities within Lee County. The basis for the strategy lies in Southwest Florida’s continuing threat from certain large scale hazards and the need to lessen the human, economic, and environmental costs of disasters resulting from these hazards. It will also be used as a tool to establish funding priorities for hazard mitigation activities for disaster assistance available following a major disaster.
