1 . 2 PLANNING PROCESS <br /> The Indian River Department of Emergency Services ( DES ) was the lead agency <br /> in the development of this LMS . An agreement was entered into by and between the State <br /> of Florida , Department of Community Affairs ; and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning <br /> Council (TCRPC ) , who in turn contracted with Continental Shelf Associates , Inc . ( CSA) to <br /> develop and facilitate the following planning process . CSA gathered all releva t background <br /> data , developed the content and facilitated the meetings of the Indian River County LMS <br /> Working Group , and developed proposed strategies for risk reduction in the County . <br /> The development of DMA2K has placed greater emphasis on the process <br /> undertaken to develop a mitigation plan rather than the end product.
