Agenda Item #8. LMS2020 SUMMARY SHEET
he Local Mitigation Strategy
he purpose of the Local Mitigation Sheet(LMS) is to develop,and execute an ongoing methodology for
reducing a community's vulnerability to identified natural,technological, and human caused hazards.The
strategy provides a rational, managed basis for considering, and prioritizing hazard-specific mitigation
options, and for developing, and executing sound, cost-effective mitigation projects.The LMS provides a basis
for justifying the solicitation, and use of local, state,federal, and other funding sources to support hazard
mitigation projects and initiatives.
LMS2020—Why Do We Have an LMS
• We have the LMS in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and Title 44 of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
• It allows communities to identify hazard and prioritize unfunded projects to mitigate those hazards
when funding becomes available from local, state,and federal sources.
• It is required in order to receive Pre-Mitigation (PDM), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP),and
Flood Mitigation Assistance(FMA)funding from Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)
before,and after a disaster strikes.
• It puts local communities in control of projects and funding priorities.
LMS2020—What has changed Since LMS2015
• Recent years have shown increased vulnerabilities as modeling,and mapping capabilities improve,
and as more information is gathered on potential impacts of climate change, and sea level rise.This
III LMS integrates updated information on storm surge and sea level rise and climate change into our
hazards, mitigation measures, mapping and project list.
• Collaboration with the Office of Sustainability and participation in the Southeast Florida Regional
Climate Change Compact has increased the number of planning stakeholders we are working with for
assessments.
• Analyses of local conditions as it relates to PBC communities.
• Update of Agricultural Pests and Diseases with specifics on the citrus industry
• Updates in severities of Pandemic/Communicable Diseases(mosquito borne diseases)
• Improved project tracking system through creation of a WebEOC internet based board, and
encourage participants to track projects; illustrates all of the mitigation work being done in Palm
Beach County.
Adoption of LMS2020
Your jurisdiction must adopt the LMS2020 in order to be eligible for any mitigation funding in the future
(HMGP, PDM, and/or FMA grants). Adoption of LMS2020 is paramount to your community remaining a viable
stakeholder in mitigation research, identification,and prioritization.Our communities utilize the LMS to
include mitigation in their development,and redevelopment projects through inclusion in their Master Plans
and Capital Improvement plans. Communities are proactively including mitigation projects into their internal
funding, and capital improvement budgets. LMS2020 is your comprehensive approach to effectively reduce
the impact of current, and future hazards,and risk faced within Palm Beach County.
• Failure to adopt LMS2020 will negate your community hazard mitigation plans as a condition for receiving
certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance, including funding for mitigation projects.
