The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) is committed to a robust public participation process regarding the state-mandated hurricane evacuation modeling discussions that will continue through January 2025. Survey #4 is currently available, and is designed to gauge public opinions and ideas concerning some of the legal considerations of the future of growth in the Florida Keys. The survey will remain open until Friday, Sept. 13 at 5 p.m. Monroe County community members are invited to take this short survey, which is the fourth of several. The survey can be found directly at www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCROGOSurvey4 and should take approximately five to six minutes to complete. Additional surveys will be available in September and October to help gauge what the community wants to see moving forward, including the community's thoughts on planning for the future. Past surveys will help officials learn more about community members' basic knowledge of ROGO/BPAS, how locals live and commute, and when residents evacuate during a hurricane. (Note: The first five questions of each survey are the same.) Monroe County continues to give a monthly update during regularly scheduled BOCC meetings and is in the process of meeting with nonprofit and civic groups throughout the Florida Keys regarding the Dept. of Commerce's hurricane evacuation modeling to gauge public opinions on everything that affects evacuation timing and the number of additional ROGO/BPAS allocations, if any, the County and municipalities should request from the State. The hurricane evacuation modeling is based on a Florida Statute requiring that Monroe County residents be able to evacuate the Florida Keys within 24 hours before a storm. Any allocations awarded could be issued over the next 10 to 30 years or at a rate that does not lead to unbalanced growth or additional takings liability. To learn more about these terms, why they are important, to view the process, or to see upcoming meetings, visit www.monroecounty-fl.gov/rogo2024. ... See MoreSee Less
