Local Mitigation Strategy

Pasco County, in coordination with the local municipalities of Dade City, New Port Richey, Port Richey, San
Antonio, St. Leo and Zephyrhills, developed a single, unified Local Mitigation Strategy in 1998 as part of the
State of Florida’s "Breaking the Cycle" initiative. The Local Mitigation Strategy is a plan developed with
input from the community, business and industry and local government to promote hazard mitigation and
to manage post-disaster recovery.

The plan has recently required updating to address the federal guidance promulgated as a result of the
"Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000."


The final version of the
Pasco County Local Mitigation Strategy is available here for public scrutiny and
commentary. Please send your comments via e-mail.
