Subject: LMS Municipal Approval
Goad morning,
The 2010 Palm Beach County Local Mitigation Plan Strategy Pian (LMS) has been approved by the Florida
Division of Emergency Management, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Palm
Beach County Board of County Commissioners. At this time, we are requesting the LMS Plan approval
from each municipality located within the jurisdiction of Palm Beach County.
Each municipality must approve the LMS Plan, as well as participate on the Palm Beach County
Mitigation Working Group to qualify for FEMA Disaster Assistance. FEMA prioritizes disaster assistance
recipients based on the approval of this plan. Municipalities that fail to approve the plan risk not
receiving funding from FEMA if a disaster strikes.
Far your convenience, the LM5 Plan is available on our website far your review:

I have also attached an example of a resolution. Please send me your approved resolution once it is
approved.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. My contact information is
