As many residents are aware, Pasco County is vulnerable to extreme climate hazards like flooding, storm surge and heat. There is no way to control these events, but we can control how we prepare for, adapt to and recover from them.
Pasco County is inviting the community to take the Resilience and Sustainability Survey, to help shape the preparation for future climate hazards, according to a county news release.
The county is working to create a resilience plan and received a grant of more than $750,000 in Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Funds administered by the Florida Department of Commerce, the release says.
The Resilient Pasco Project consists of these three parts:
- Countywide Vulnerability Assessment
- Resilience and Sustainability Action Plan (Learn more online at PascoCountyfl.net/services/public_works/resilience___sustainability.php)
- Living Shorelines Plan
The project intends to find ways to strengthen the community and protect Pasco’s environment, communities and economic prosperity.
The survey will be available for the next couple months, according to the release, and is available online at tinyurl.com/9c3pmk23.
