County meeting to assess flood vulnerability

All residents, business owners, and other interested parties are invited to attend, especially those in flood-prone areas.

The Zoom meeting will present findings from a recently completed flood vulnerability assessment and flood modeling used to reduce risks for critical infrastructure in the county such as roads and emergency facilities.
Pinellas County is required by the State of Florida to conduct this flood vulnerability assessment as a condition for receiving flood risk reduction grant funding. The assessment focused on areas at risk of flooding during storms and heavy rainfall to better understand and mitigate risks to critical county assets and infrastructure.
