Office of Emergency Management hosts local mitigation strategy working group
On Dec . 18 , the Office of Emergency Management hosted the local mitigation strategy working group . The LMS working group brings together stakeholders throughout St . Lucie County to discuss mitigation topics and tactics that can help their organizations and the community respond to and recover from major incidents .
Please see the following preparedness tips :
• Get to know your neighbors and invite them to be a part of your emergency plan .
• Make an emergency plan : choose a safe place to meet , learn evacuation routes and establish an out-of-town contact .
With Hurricane Milton affecting the entire Treasure Coast in October , this meeting allowed stakeholders to discuss the priorities and opportunities the community might need to improve their readiness . Additionally , these stakeholders discussed the processes for the potential funding of mitigation projects for 2025 .
The City ’ s Office of Emergency Management is proud to support our emergency management partners and prepare our citizens and our responders to respond to the various emergencies which could occur .
• Preparing your family for an emergency is as simple as having a conversation over dinner . Make a plan tonight .
• As part of your family ’ s emergency supply kit , include games and toys to keep children entertained .
• Get prepared by having an emergency supply kit already stored .
You can find more preparedness information about knowing your zone , making a plan , building a kit and staying informed at the City of Port St . Lucie Office of Emergency Management ’ s website .
