MEMORANDUM
TO: Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group Chair /Coordinator
FROM: Miles E. Anderson, Mitigation Bureau Chief
State Hazard Mitigation Officer
Florida Division of Emergency Management
RE: State approval of LMS plans under Program Administration by States (PAS)
Florida is currently operating under PAS with regard to the review and approval of Local
Mitigation Strategy (LMS) plans.
Under this designation, the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) will manage
the approval of LMS plans with minimal Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) oversight.
FEMA will continue to send final approval letters to local communities for their mitigation plans.
The process:
Plan updates should be submitted to the state for review six (6) months prior to the plan
expiration date. Once received, FDEM will complete the first review of each LMS plan within 30 -days
of receipt whenever possible. Once the plan has been reviewed by FDEM, the county will be notified
that the plan is either in need of revisions, approved pending adoption, or approved.
• Needs Revisions: If the plan is determined to be insufficient the FDEM Mitigation Planning
Unit will provide technical assistance to the local jurisdiction until they believe that the plan
adequately meets the regulations according to FEMA's standards.
• Approved Pending Adoption (APA): After FDEM reviewers determine that the plan
adequately meets all regulations according to FEMA's standards, they will notify the local
jurisdiction by email and letter that the plan Is ready to be adopted.
• Approved: Once a plan is adopted, FDEM will notify FEMA that the LMS plan is approved and
provide a copy of the adoption resolution, the final plan, and a completed Plan Review Tool.
FEMA wi l Issue a formal approval letter for FDEM to transmit to the local community.
If you have any questions or need any further information regarding this change please do not
hesitate to contact your state LMS liaison.

Local Mitigation Strategy 1 2015
SECTION 1: PLANNING PROCESS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Palm Beach County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) was formally adopted by the
county, municipalities, and the LMS Steering Committee in 1999. Initial development of the
LMS was funded, in part, by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (FDCA) with
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds earmarked for the development of
comprehensive hazard mitigation planning.
The LMS was established and continues to operate in accordance with prevailing federal, state
and local guidelines and requirements. In 2004 the plan and program were substantially modified
to improve operational effectiveness and to comply with new federal guidelines established in
response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000.
1.2 PURPOSE
The purpose of the Palm Beach County LMS is to develop and execute an ongoing unified
strategy for reducing the community's vulnerability to identified natural, technological and
societal hazards. The strategy provides a rational, managed basis for considering and prioritizing
hazard - specific mitigation options and for developing and executing sound, cost - effective
mitigation projects. The LMS also provides a basis for justifying the solicitation and use of local,
state, federal and other monies to support hazard mitigation projects and initiatives.
1.3 PROGRAM ORGANIZATION
1.3.1 LMS Structure
The original LMS structure consisted of two levels; (1) the LMS Committee which was the
larger body of public agencies, non - profit organizations, private institutions, and members of the
public at large interested in participation in LMS activities (2) subcommittees.
The LMS Steering Committee was the policy and decision body. Voting rights were restricted to
one officially designated primary member and two alternates from each municipal jurisdiction
and the county. Each jurisdiction had one vote on LMS matters and a quorum vote was required
for approval. Written notice from the manager /mayor of the jurisdictional governing body to the
Chair of the LMS Committee or to the Director, Palm Beach County Division of Emergency
Management was required to designate new voting members. While voting on important LMS
issues was restricted as described above, attendance and participation in general meetings was
open to the community at large.
An LMS Chair and Vice Chair were elected every other year; unlimited successive terms were
permissible at the will of the Committee.
Local Mitigation Strategy 1 2015
Four subcommittees were established in the early stages of the LMS to assist with initial
program and plan development. They included: The Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis
Subcommittee, the Outreach and Education Subcommittee, and the Financial and Legal Issues
Subcommittee. Over the course of program development, the Outreach and Education
Subcommittee evolved and changed its name to the Community Rating System (CRS)
Subcommittee to reflect its growing focus on CRS outreach and education and other CRS issues.
The Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis Subcommittee and Financial and Legal Issues
subcommittees gradually became inactive as the LMS matured, but were subject to reactivation
if future needs warranted. A fifth subcommittee, the Update /Review Subcommittee, was created
to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the LMS and recommend changes to ensure the
LMS plan remained current, compliant, focused, and responsive to community interests and
needs.
An additional standing subcommittee, the Evaluation Panel was established specifically to
review, score and prioritize LMS mitigation projects submitted by LMS steering committee
members and other partner organizations in accordance with guidelines, procedures and criteria
developed early in the program. Under the original project prioritization process, the Panel
prepared and submitted Prioritized Project Lists (PPLs) to the Steering Committee for approval
and adoption twice a year. With FEMA's issuance of new funding criteria based largely on
benefit -cost justifications the role and skill requirements of the Evaluation Panel had to be
reexamined.
1.3.2 Current LMS Structure
In July 2003, the Update /Review Subcommittee was reconstituted as an Administrative
Subcommittee with the broader mission of providing guidance and assistance necessary to bring
the plan and program into compliance with the new federal guidelines and criteria established in
response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations. The
group met numerous times over the course of the review to develop plans and strategies for the
revision process, and monitor and review plan revisions. A number of important
recommendations and actions emerged from this later responsibility.
Among the Committee's observations were the following:
• The LMS Committee, composed of the County and all municipal members, was
considered too large and unwieldy to serve as an effective policy and decision body
• Greater attention needed to be given to ensuring mitigation projects were cost - effective
and focused on threat - specific mitigation priorities and strategies
• Many of the county's jurisdictions, particularly the smaller municipalities, lack the in-
house technical resources, funds, and expertise necessary to effectively execute FEMA's
mandated Benefit -Cost analyses
Local Mitigation Strategy 1 2015
• The plan revision process afforded an excellent opportunity to also reconsider and
revamp the LMS program structure and operating philosophy.
In response to these and other considerations, in June 2004, the LMS voted unanimously to adopt
and phase into implementation a number of significant program changes and enhancements
proposed by the Administrative Subcommittee. Among the executed and /or planned actions are
the following:
LMS Steering Committee
Effective July 2004, the LMS Steering Committee consisted of 15 members comprised of: seven
municipal representatives, two county /local government representatives, one state /federal
government representative, one university /college representative, one healthcare industry
representative, one non - profit representative, and two representatives from the private sector.
The Steering Committee serves as the Local Mitigation Strategy program board of directors. As
such, it is the primary decision and policy body for LMS sponsored mitigation activity.
LMS Working Group
The LMS Working Group is comprised of the full body of the LMS, representing a broad cross -
section of public sector and private sector organizations and individuals, including the general
public. The Working Group serves as an umbrella organization for coordinating all mitigation
programs and activities, supplies the staffing and expertise for the standing and ad hoc
committees of the LMS, and is the primary mechanism and forum for exchanging information
and mobilizing the vast expertise and resources of the community.
Standing Committees
• Evaluation Panel, designated to review, evaluate, score and rank mitigation projects
applying established local, state and federal prioritization processes and criteria.
• Flood Mitigation Technical Advisory Committee, comprised of flood mitigation
engineers and experts from public and private sector organizations, is charged with
assessing county -wide flood risks and vulnerabilities without regard to jurisdictional
boundaries and recommending flood mitigation priorities, strategies, plans and projects
for LMS consideration and action that optimally benefit to the greater community.
• Flood Mitigation Committee — CRS Outreach Subcommittee, comprised of
representatives from the county's 26 CRS communities, who collaborate on a full range
of Outreach Projects Strategy (OPS) initiatives and promote CRS participation.
Ad Hoc Committees: Formed as needed.
Local Mitigation Strategy 1 2015
1.4 LMS PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
Since the Unified Local Mitigation Strategy is written directly from input from all meetings, it is
important to make sure that the entire Palm Beach County community is represented. The
following groups are invited to all Local Mitigation Strategy meetings. Each group has different
participation requirements; however, all groups are strongly encouraged to participate in the
planning process.
Jurisdictions
Municipal and county participation are critical to the success of the LMS. In order to retain LMS
voting rights, qualify for federal mitigation assistance consideration, and otherwise remain a
member in good standing, the county and all municipal jurisdictions are expected to conform to
the following standards:
• Participation of the representative or alternate in the two annual Working Group
meetings; or
• Participation of the representative or officially designated alternate(s) in a majority of the
Steering Committee meetings
• Participation in a majority of subcommittee meetings; or
• Participation in special conference call meetings of the Steering Committee or
subcommittees; and
• Have a dully executed resolution adopting the revised LMS plan on file with the county.
In order for a jurisdiction to be eligible for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP),
Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) and Pre - Disaster Mitigation (PDM) funding
programs, they must have an executed resolution /interlocal agreement adopting the LMS.
Appendix H includes the Board of County Commissioners agenda item summary, along
with a copy of all executed adoption resolutions.
Consecutive absences will be cause for disqualification for the LMS, subject to appeal and
review by the LMS Chair. All rights and privileges will be terminated during a period of
disqualification and formal reapplication;
Non - Governmental Organizations (NGO's) and other Governmental Entities
In order to qualify for LMS grant sponsorship, NGO's and other governmental entities must:
• Have a dully executed letter of commitment to the LMS on file with the county; and
Local Mitigation Strategy 1 2015
• In the judgment of the LMS Steering Committee, actively participate in, and otherwise
support LMS activities.
The Public and Private Sector
The Palm Beach County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy believes broad community support,
including ongoing public and private sector involvement, is very important to the success of the
program. While participation by private organizations and the general public is strictly voluntary,
their attendance, comments, contributions, and support are actively invited, sought, monitored
and fully documented.
In order to promote the opportunity for broad participation, at a minimum, notices and agendas
for all general meetings of the LMS are posted through some combination of the following:
newspaper ads or public service announcements; postings on county and municipal websites,
announcements in the county and municipal newsletters and calendars, and blast faxes and e-
mailings to all previous participants.
1.5 JURISDICTIONAL ADOPTION OF THE LMS
All jurisdictions wishing to participate in and share in the benefits deriving from the LMS
program must complete and file a fully executed resolution (see Appendix H) which conforms to
the adoption standards jointly established and amended by the Palm Beach County Board of
County Commissioners and the LMS Steering Committee.
1.6 NEW JURISDICTIONS/ENTITIES
In the event municipal jurisdictions are added, deleted, or merged within the county, the LMS
will appropriately adjust its member rolls as necessary and require any newly defined
jurisdictions to provide documentation necessary for participation in the program.
1.7 GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The LMS guiding principles are an expression of the community's vision of hazard mitigation
and the mechanisms through which it is striving to achieve that vision. The principles address
concerns of the community relative to natural, man -made, and environmental hazards.
1.7.1 PROCESS
As part of the process, a survey was distributed to each local jurisdiction. The surveys provided
information about the jurisdiction's development plans and regulations, and hazard mitigation
projects they have implemented. Using this approach, a comprehensive list of hazards of
concern to the local governments was developed. From these defined hazards, the Working
Group identified areas of concern. These areas of concern included:
Local Mitigation Strategy, 2015
• Loss of life
• Loss of property
• Community sustainability
• Health /medical needs
• Sheltering
• Adverse impacts to natural resources (e.g., beaches, water quality)
• Damage to public infrastructure (e.g., roads, water systems, sewer systems,
stormwater systems)
• Economic disruption
• Fiscal impact
• Recurring damage
• Redevelopment /reconstruction
• Development practices /land use
• Intergovernmental coordination
• Public participation
• Repetitive flood loss properties
• Historical structures
1.8 STRATEGY
The strategy used for the development and revision process of the Unified Local Mitigation
Strategy Plan, consisted of the following tasks:
1. Public involvement to ensure a representative plan
2. Coordination with other agencies or organizations
3. Hazard area inventory
4. Risk and Vulnerability Assessment
5. Incorporating existing plans, reports, and technical information into the LMS
6. Review and analysis of possible mitigation activities
7. Local adoption following a public hearing
8. Periodic review and update
Local Mitigation Strategy 1 2015
1.9 Measuring the Overall Effectiveness of the LMS Program
Measuring the effectiveness of mitigation activities presents several challenges. However, since
this program has identified goals, the effectiveness of this program will be measured, to the
extent possible, against progress being made toward meeting those goals.
The LMS Coordinator regularly monitors attendance and participation of the Working Group.
This is done through sign -in sheets at meetings and submittal of mitigation projects for inclusion
in the LMS document. The LMS also encourages increased activity in the CRS program.
The completion of these projects enables the LMS Coordinator to track and monitor future
performance. Performance is also identified during the damage assessment process where
damage and opportunities for future mitigation activities are discovered.
1.10 BENEFITS
Adoption of this strategy will provide the following benefits to both County and municipal
governmental entities:
• Compliance with Administrative Rules 9G -6 and 9G -7, Florida Administrative Code
(F.A.C.), requirements for local comprehensive emergency management plans to
identify problem areas and planning deficiencies relative to severe and repetitive
weather phenomenon, and to identify pre and post- disaster strategies for rectifying
identified programs
• Universal points from the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP)
Community Rating System (CRS) Program for developing a Floodplain
Management Program, which may help further reduce flood insurance premium
rates for property owners
• Access to FEMA's Federal grant programs,
• Compliance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000.
• Set forth the guiding principles with which both the County and municipal
governmental entities of Palm Beach County will address the issue of all hazard
mitigation
• Identify the known hazards to which the county is exposed, discuss their range of
impacts, and delineate the individual vulnerabilities of the various jurisdictions
and population centers within the county (Section 2.0, Hazard Identification and
Vulnerability Analysis)
Local Mitigation Strategy 1 2015
• Develop a detailed method by which Palm Beach County (municipalities and
County government) can evaluate and prioritize proposed mitigation projects
along with new federal requirements
• Develop the process and schedule by which this entire Unified Local Mitigation
Strategy will be reviewed and updated to include public participation
1.11 Evaluation Criteria and Procedures to Review and Revise the LMS
This document will be updated a minimum of every five (5) years by the LMS Coordinator
with the assistance of the Revision Subcommittee and approval by the Steering Committee
with input from the LMS Working Group.
The public is given an opportunity to review this document and provide comments through
the County website, as well as committee meetings. Revisions may also be made based upon
experience from any significant events such as a hurricane, destructive tornado, severe
hazardous materials spill or any other occurrence where mitigation could benefit the
community. Changes in federal, state, and local laws will also be reflected in the updated
version of this document. The revisions will then be distributed to all affected parties by the
LMS Coordinator.
The evaluation criteria which are used include:
1. Have there been any new mandates from federal, state or local agencies that require
changes to the Local Mitigation Strategy? Any new or changing laws, policies or regulations.
2. Are there any societal developments or significant changes in the community that must be
added to the current LMS?
3. Have there been any changes in the Comprehensive Plan or any other form of standard
operating procedure?
4. Have any of the mitigation opportunities been implemented? Are the priorities
for implementation the same?
5. What are the recommendations or lessons learned from any major incidents that have
occurred since last adoption?
During the revision process, each criterion is addressed to determine if they are still valid and
adjustments are made as necessary. All existing mitigation opportunities that are determined
to still be viable projects will be left standing. All those that are determined to be no longer
workable will be set aside for further review and revision or, dropped as no longer feasible.
8
Local Mitigation Strategy 1 2015
Once revisions are approved by the Steering Committee, the LMS Coordinator provides the
copy to all members, on the website, and to the State for approval. Once approved by the
State, LMS Coordinator distributes to members for final adoption by governing body.
