Peril of Flood Act
About the Peril of Flood Act
In 2015, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 1094, titled “Peril of Flood”. The new law specifies new requirements for the coastal management element of a local government’s comprehensive plan related to coastal flooding and the related impacts of sea level rise.
To comply with the Peril of Flood requirements, the City of Safety Harbor is updating the City's Comprehensive Plan's Coastal Management and Conservation Element.
See full text of the law here.
