Acknowledgements

This plan update was made possible by several organizations and individuals who are worthy of acknowledgement for their leadership, aid, and contributions.

The Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM) and the Florida Planning and Development Lab at the Florida State University (FSU) partnered to establish an internship program to assist local governments in updating Local Mitigation Strategies. The two-year program began in 2009 and was funded through FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. The program provides graduate students to Florida counties for a 12-week period to update the local plan. Peter Koeppel, Senior Planner for the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at FSU, managed the program and supervised interns with the assistance of Joshua Wickham, a graduate of the Master of Science in Planning program at FSU. Harrison Higgins, Associate Director of cityLAB at the University of California Los Angeles, developed and presented the training curriculum. Laura Herbert held the role of DEM liaison for the internship program.

Office space and resources for the interns were provided at the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Morris Young.

The Gadsden County Appraiser Clay VanLandingham provided county property data for the vulnerability assessment. Taylor Moore, GIS Coordinator for the Appraiser's Office, assisted in interpreting the data.

Numerous individuals aided in the gathering of information and participation in the development of this plan.
