Other upcoming or otherwise planned but incomplete community outreach efforts will focus on including the precepts of mitigation in current public information activities, and to make the public aware of this planning process, its goals and objectives, and opportunities for public input at every possible occasion. The Seminole County LMS Working Group will continue efforts to develop and implement ayear-round program to engage the community in the LMS planning process and to provide them with mitigation-related information and education.
