Local Mitigation Strategy

The Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) is a comprehensive plan designed to reduce the community’s long-term vulnerability to disasters. This plan forms the foundation of Miami-Dade County’s approach to mitigation initiatives and establishes the county’s eligibility for Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funding. The mitigation objectives and goals determined in this plan are informed by an assessment of the hazards unique to Miami-Dade County. As a living document, the LMS Plan is revised to integrate necessary changes identified by whole community partners under the direction of Miami-Dade County Department of Emergency Management (DEM).

The 2025 LMS Plan is provided below in five different parts.

• Part 1: The Strategy
• Part 2: The Projects
• Part 3: The Funding
• Part 4: The Appendices
• Part 5: Flooding- The NFIP and CRS
