The problem

Every agency in Tampa keeps its own version of what threatens the city, and residents get none of them. When nobody shares one picture of the risks, preparation is scattered and surprises are guaranteed.

The plan

The Tampa Crisis Profile is a single, honest picture of the city's risks — flooding, heat, storms, infrastructure vulnerabilities — built to guide where readiness money and attention go.
