Mitigation through Floodplain - Links and Resources

Mitigation is an integral part of the City. Mitigation actions reduce or eliminate the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. Due to Florida’s weather, geography, and miles of coastline, the state is highly vulnerable to disasters. To assist in reduction of the impact the Florida Department of Emergency through the Bureau of Mitigation administers three federal mitigation grant programs, which includes the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program, and Flood Mitigation Assistance Program. The Bureau also administers one state-funded mitigation grant program, the Hurricane Loss Mitigation Program.
