ITEM BACKGROUND: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act,

Reform Act of 2004 require local jurisdictions to adopt a mitigation plan in order to be eligible for
grants to implement certain flood mitigation projects. Monroe County's 2020 Local Mitigation
Strategy was revised with participation of the LMS Working Group, including representation from
the municipalities of Key West, Marathon, Key Colony Beach, Layton, and Islamorada, as well as
members of the utilities, non-profit organizations, and private citizens.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group Chair
FROM: Miles E. Anderson, Mitigation Bureau Chief, FDEM �
DATE: January 28, 2019
SUBJECT: Local Mitigation Strategy Plan Review Process
Florida operates under Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Program
Administration by States(PAS)with regard to the review and approval of Local Mitigation Strategy
(LMS) plans. Under this designation, the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM)
manages the approval of LMS plans with minimal FEMA oversight. FEMA sends final approval
letters to the state for dissemination their county jurisdictions.
Updated LMS plans must be submitted to the FDEM six (6) months prior to the plan expiration
date. Plans submitted later than this timeframe will be reviewed in the order they are received
after timely submissions have been attended to. FDEM will attempt to complete reviews within 30
days whenever possible. The official submission shall consist of:
® Electronic copy (Excel version) of the Florida LMS Review Tool, completed as described
in the Review Tool's instructions
o Electronic copy(uploaded to SharePoint or CD)of all the plan document(s)to be reviewed
The LMS working group must notify their state LMS liaison (via email or phone call)that their plan
has been submitted. The assigned state mitigation planner will provide a confirmation of receipt.
Upon completion of the review the state mitigation planner will inform the LMS chairperson that
the plan is:
a. Approved Pending Adoption (APA)
OR
b. In need of revision. In this case, the plan must be revised and resubmitted to FDEM within
30 days of notification.
Once the county receives FDEM's APA letter, you may then take it to your jurisdictions to begin
the adoption process. There is no specific order requirement for jurisdiction adoption. A copy of
all adoption Resolutions must be submitted to FDEM for transmittal to FEMA.
Upon FDEM's receipt of each of your jurisdiction's resolutions, the FDEM Mitigation Planning Unit
will send them to FEMA and await their approval letter. Once FDEM receives it, we will send it to
the county for their records and further disbursement to your jurisdiction.
If you have any questions about this process, please speak with your state LMS liaison.
