APPENDIX G - Local Mitigation Planning Process
At the core of the multi-jurisdictional mitigation planning process for Pasco County is coordination and
partnership among the governmental units involved in the planning effort. In addition, the planning process
relies upon the close involvement of public and private sector organizations. Examples include
environmental organizations, homeowners associations, insurance industry and relief organizations. The
creation of the organizational structure was the first step in the development of the Local Mitigation Strategy
(LMS). The second step was to ensure that the citizens of Pasco County were informed and educated
about the LMS. The results were the establishment of effective and productive committees who oversaw
the development of the LMS, with the public being given the opportunity to participate and contribute to its
finalization.
Through the involvement of the members of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee, Participants and
Other Interested Parties, the Hazard Mitigation Committee (HMC) coordinated the development of the LMS
with neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities,
agencies that have the authority to regulate development, businesses, academia and other private and
nonprivate interests. These agencies and groups were invited and encouraged to actively participate in the
planning process by becoming Committee Members. The representatives’ acceptance of the invitation and
agreement to become Committee Members initiated their commitment to the effort. The representatives
committed their time and available resources to develop a mitigation strategy that would protect life,
property, and the environment, as well as contribute to the economic well being of the County.
