Chair: Carolyn Sirmon 850/444-6638
Vice-Chair: Sue Smith 850/932-2257
Secretary: Rick Sundstrom 850/393-1618

In 1998, Escambia County, the City of Pensacola, the Town of Century, and the Santa Rosa Island Authority were provided a federal grant through the Florida Department of Community Affairs to develop a Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS). This was a State of Florida initiative that was implemented to help reduce the spiraling costs of disasters. The LMS identifies specific hazards, man-made, natural, and technological, that could negatively impact our community, and as such, have created a strategy to try and mitigate our community against those disasters.
