In 1921, the City of Oldsmar was hit by a damaging hurricane that inundated the City with six feet of water.
In recent years, Oldsmar has begun to experience more frequent storm and flooding events and a large
portion of the City has been identified to be at moderate or high risk of flooding. Future climate change
projections indicate that these events are likely to become more intense and more frequent into the future.
Climate-related risks may result in impacts to the daily lives of our residents, city services that support our
community, and Oldsmar’s businesses. The City Office of Sustainability is developing the Climate Resiliency
Plan (CRP) in order to better define these risks and prepare our community for a more resilient future.
