Reference: Local Mitigation Strategy: Miami -Dade County
Dear Mr. Anderson:
The Miami -Dade County, FL Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) Plan Update is in compliance with the
Federal hazard mitigation planning requirements resulting from the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 as
contained in 44 CFR 201.6. The plan is approved for a period of five (5) years to September 15, 2025.
This letter is to confirm that the following jurisdictions are approved under the Miami -Dade County, FL
Local Mitigation Strategy Plan Update in accordance with the Program Administration by States (PAS)
requirements, effective September 15, 2020, as follows:
This plan approval extends to the following participating jurisdictions that provided a copy of their
resolutions adopting the Miami -Dade County, FL LMS plan:
• City of West Miami
• Village of Pinecrest
• North Bay Village
• City of Miami Springs
• City of Miami Gardens
• Indian Creek Village
• Town of Golden Beach
• City of Florida City
• Village of El Portal
• City of Doral
• Village of Biscayne Park
• City of Aventura
The approved participating jurisdictions are hereby eligible applicants through the State for the following
mitigation grant programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA):
• Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
• Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM)
• Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA)
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) participation is required for some programs.
We commend the participants in the Miami -Dade County, FL LMS plan for the development of a solid,
workable plan that will guide hazard mitigation activities over the coming years. Please note that all
requests for funding will be evaluated individually according to the specific eligibility and other
requirements of the particular program under which the application is submitted. For example, a specific
mitigation activity or project identified in the plan may not meet the eligibility requirements for FEMA
funding, and even eligible mitigation activities are not automatically approved for FEMA funding under
any of the aforementioned programs.
We strongly encourage each community to perform an annual review and assessment of the effectiveness
of their hazard mitigation plan; however, a formal plan update is required at least every five (5) years. We
also encourage each community to conduct a plan update process within one (1) year of being included in
a Presidential Disaster Declaration or of the adoption of major modifications to their local Comprehensive
Land Use Plan or other plans that affect hazard mitigation or land use and development. When you prepare
a comprehensive plan update, it must be resubmitted through the State as a "plan update" and is subject to
a formal review and approval process by our office. If the plan is not updated prior to the required five (5)
year update, please ensure that the draft update is submitted at least six (6) months prior to expiration of
this plan approval.
The State and the participants in the Miami -Dade County, FL LMS plan should be commended for their
close coordination and communications with our office in the review and subsequent approval of the plan.
If you or Miami -Dade County have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate
to contact Gabriela Vigo, of the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Branch, at (229) 225-4546 or Darlene
Booker, of my staff at, (770) 220-5404.
Sincerely,
Kristen M. Martinenza, P.E., FM
