Tavares, FL – Lake County residents are being urged to take part in a public meeting this Thursday, November 13, as officials conduct a countywide vulnerability assessment to identify infrastructure and neighborhoods most at risk of flooding.
According to the Lake County Office of Emergency Management, the assessment aims to pinpoint critical areas that could face increased flood danger during severe weather or rising water events. The input gathered from residents will help the county develop actionable plans to protect vulnerable communities and improve resilience.
The meeting will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Lake County Agriculture Center, Training Room A, 1951 Woodlea Road, Tavares. County representatives will share preliminary findings and collect feedback from attendees on local flooding concerns and mitigation priorities.
Those unable to attend in person can still participate by completing an online survey available at lakecountyfl.gov.
Community engagement is key, officials said, as Lake County continues to face increased flooding risks due to seasonal rainfall and changing weather patterns.
