Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group
Collier County's Hazard Mitigation Program

LMS LogoCollier County's Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group  (LMSWG) is a component of Collier County's Citizen Corps.  The LMSWG meetings are opened to the public for either full-time membership or casual participation.

The purpose of the group is to examine the hazards that confront people and property of Collier County and explore means to reduce the vulnerability to each hazard.  Essentially, the group prioritizes a project "wish-list" that achieves the goals contained within the county's Local Mitigation Strategy (Hazard Mitigation Plan).  Then, when monies become available, typically through a federal grant opportunity resulting from a disaster, the LMSWG submits a prioritized listing that goes with each grant application attesting to the fact that the project supports the community's hazard mitigation priorities.

FEMA Approval of Collier County's Local Mitigation Strategy expires on January 9, 2010.
