Leon County Post-Disaster Redevelopment Plan
The Leon County Post-Disaster Redevelopment Plan (PDRP) is intended to help our community prepare for the aftermath of a major or catastrophic natural or other disaster by providing a framework for the intermediate (i.e., post-90 days) and long-term recovery and mitigation following a disaster. The PDRP is coordinated with the Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan, the Leon County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, and the Local Mitigation Strategy. Based on these other plans, and with additional input provided by various community stakeholders, the PDRP recommends strategies, policies, and roles and responsibilities for implementing long-term recovery and redevelopment of the community after a disaster.
The PDRP focuses on sustainable land use patterns, housing repair and reconstruction, business resumption and economic redevelopment, infrastructure restoration, financial considerations, and short- and long-term recovery and redevelopment actions, as well as other long-term recovery issues identified by the community.
The existing PDRP was developed in 2012 by the Tallahassee – Leon County Planning Department with assistance from the Apalachee Regional Planning Council. It was adopted by the Leon County Board of County Commissioner on July 10, 2012 and the Tallahassee City Commission on July 11, 2012. The PDRP is currently being updated in coordination with the Tallahassee – Leon County Local Mitigation Strategy, which is also being updated in 2024-2025.
