Hernando County features a mix of urban and rural settings, balancing small-town charm with modern growth. Historic downtown districts showcase the area’s heritage, while new residential communities continue to flourish. Its coastline and rolling inland terrain make it susceptible to hazards like storm surge and freshwater flooding, underscoring the value of strategic redevelopment plans.
As part of the PDRP initiative, Hernando County focuses on measures that strengthen the community well in advance of any disaster. This approach ranges from modernizing public infrastructure to expanding access to housing and vital community services before emergencies arise. By collaborating with neighboring jurisdictions, local leaders aim to share knowledge, coordinate resources, and effectively address challenges that affect the entire region.
