This document is Broward County's Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) from December 2009. The LMS provides a risk assessment of hazards in Broward County and outlines initiatives to mitigate those risks. It examines Broward County's geography, demographics, economy, planning process, assets, hazards, and current mitigation efforts. The key hazards identified for Broward include hurricanes, flooding, wildfires, and human-caused threats like hazardous materials incidents. The LMS was developed through collaboration between Broward County Emergency Management and municipalities to reduce risks and prevent loss from future disasters.
