Preparedness

There are over 450,000 residents in Pasco County,
Florida.  One third of those residents live along the 18
mile Gulf coast.

Of those that do have a hurricane evacuation plan,
nearly 70% (140,000) will not have all the supplies
and important documents to sustain themselves for 3
days, or aid in their own recovery post-disaster.

As discussed on our
 "Hazards" pages, hurricanes
are just one element that can create a disaster for
Pasco residents.  A significant amount of industrial
shipping, both by rail and truck pass through Pasco
County each day.  

Additionally, Pasco County Florida also has houses
in the approach paths for Tampa International and
Clearwater/St. Petersburg airports, as well as the
Space Shuttle program.
A comprehensive "all-hazards" preparedness plan is your best survival tool for all of Pasco County's
hazards. The Office of Emergency Management is positioned to assist Pasco County
residents and
businesses in the development of their all-hazard preparedness plans.

Though we wish we could prevent emergencies and disasters from impacting our county, most of the
hazards which will occur in Pasco are beyond our control.  Be proactive, and "Get a Plan!"
