The purpose of the Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) is to coordinate all mitigation activities within the county.  The LMS develops and revises the Local Mitigation Strategy Plan, and prioritizes local mitigation projects.  Membership is open to all jurisdictions, county government, private and civic organizations, property owner’s associations, state agencies, independent special districts, and non-profit organizations supporting mitigation efforts.  The Sumter County LMS meets tri-annually.
