Sarasota County Seeks Public Feedback on Hazard Mitigation Plan

SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. — Sarasota County is asking residents to share their input on a plan to address natural hazards that can affect the community.

The Sarasota County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group, which includes the cities of Sarasota, Venice and North Port, the Town of Longboat Key, and community partners, is updating its plan to strengthen resilience through projects that address risks such as flooding, hurricanes and other natural hazards.

Residents can provide feedback now through September 24 by completing a survey about their concerns, vulnerabilities and the types of projects they want to see in action. The survey can be accessed here

Survey responses will help the working group develop a comprehensive plan that will be submitted for approval by the Florida Division of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Once approved, the plan will be adopted by the Sarasota County Commission.
