Cities like St. Augustine 39 and Oldsmar 40 assess flood risk to determine the areas most susceptible to flooding. They conduct Local Mitigation Strategies that lead to reduced flood insurance premiums for residents 40 and eliminate Special Flood Hazard Areas through Letters of Map Revision submitted to FEMA 42.
Implementing Resilience Measures
Cities develop Flood Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies, as seen with the City of Cape Canaveral 41, to address economic and environmental challenges. Additionally, the Unified Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group collaborates on mitigation efforts in Port St. Lucie 46.
