39th Environmental Permitting Summer School

Hurricanes Ian and Nicole have reinforced the idea that Floridians must plan for and implement sustainable, cost-effective measures designed to both reduce the risk to individuals and property from future natural hazards and disasters while also aiming to reduce reliance on federal funds moving forward. Hazard mitigation activities are intended to reduce the cost of recovery from a disaster and can be implemented in preparation of the inevitable storm and also to expedite recovery and strengthen the community post-storm. Join our panel to discuss strategies implemented in Florida and elsewhere that will touch upon effective pre and post/disaster mitigation at the local, state, and federal levels of government.
