Disclaimer: We are promoting this event on behalf of a local chamber member. This event is not managed or sponsored by the Destin Chamber.

Okaloosa County, in partnership with Jacobs Engineering, invites residents to the second public meeting for the Vulnerability Assessment Project on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 from 5:30-7 p.m. at Warriors Hall, located at 201 Stillwell Blvd. in Crestview. The meeting is open to anyone interested in learning more about future flood mitigation and the possible impacts of flood events on the community.

“I encourage everyone to learn more about where they live and the potential flood risks they may encounter,” said Okaloosa County Board Chairman Paul Mixon. “These public meetings give our residents the chance to not only learn about their community but to engage in worthy conversations that can lead to a safer County.”

During the meeting, attendees will hear from county staff and representatives from Jacobs Engineering on the methodology and results of the countywide vulnerability assessment. Attendees will have the chance to provide input on results from the exposure and sensitivity analysis and participate in a question-and-answer session at the end of the meeting.

The Vulnerability Assessment Project is an initiative aimed at safeguarding the unincorporated areas of Okaloosa County against environmental risks, including rising sea levels and flooding.
