Santa Rosa County Local Mitigation Strategy Task Force

2005-2010 Local Mitigation Strategy Plan

For information on hardening your home (shutters, elevation, roof strengthening) please contact the Santa Rosa County Special Projects/Grants Department at (850) 983-1827 or email us: Mitigation Task Force. If you would like to be placed on the Residential Hardening Waiting List please complete one of the residential proposal forms. The County does not currently have a grant to harden homes. We do maintain a waiting list and when a grant opens we work with the individual homeowners to help them submit applications. Most of these grants require a minimum of 25% from the homeowner. If you are a low to moderate income resident and need help repairing or hardening your home, please call the Santa Rosa County Housing Program at (850) 981-7075.

Purpose
The purpose of the Santa Rosa County Local Mitigation Strategy Task Force is to decrease the vulnerability of the citizens, governments, businesses and institutions of Santa Rosa County to the future human, economic and environmental costs of natural, technological, and societal disasters. To this end, the Task Force develops, monitors, implements, and maintains a comprehensive plan for hazard mitigation. Funding for the prevention and recovery from disasters from the state and federal government is directly linked to the existence of this Task Force and the work that it accomplishes throughout the county to mitigate the impact of disasters.

The nature of this Task Force is very participatory since disasters can potentially affect the entire population of Santa Rosa County. Membership in the Task Force is open to all jurisdictions, organizations and individuals, supporting its purposes and participation is voluntary by all entities.
