ALERT LOWNDES EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS

2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

Lowndes County and the Cities of Valdosta, Remerton, Hahira, Lake Park and Dasher are in the process of updating our Hazard Mitigation Plan. This process involves identifying known potential hazards for our area (like hurricanes, flooding and wildfires), and outlining plans and procedures for handling the crisis if and when it arrives. Below is a link to a brief survey that will help us make sure that the plan will be as complete as possible and nothing has been left out. It is only 13 questions and takes just a few minutes to complete. We are asking our residents to help with this planning process by completing the survey and sharing it with friends and neighbors in the area. The questions are designed for County-wide responses, so please feel free to share with others anywhere in the County, not necessarily just Lake Park. We very much appreciate your help. Together we are stronger!

2026 Comprehensive Plan Update

A Comprehensive Plan is a document that contains the vision for future growth and development of the county and its incorporated cities. Comprehensive Plans are the backbone of all of the planning efforts for any community. They outline challenges, identify solutions, and provide guidance to elected and appointed officials on planning-related decisions. The best comprehensive plans are those that have the support of the public within the broader community.
