Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) is one of 11 Florida Planning Districts and is situated on the Atlantic coast. TCRPC is comprised of Indian River, Martin, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie counties and encompasses over 3,600 square miles, 51 municipalities, and 1.4 million residents. The TCRPC mission is to address and define policy issues with impacts that extend beyond county and municipal boundaries; provide a forum for cooperation between jurisdictions; and provide technical and planning assistance to local governments on matters pertaining to community development and redevelopment, emergency preparedness, natural resources, town planning, and other important public policy initiatives.

Council Members and Staff
Council members are representatives from local governments (counties and municipalities) and ex-officio members appointed by Florida's Governor. Members and elected officers are regularly rotated to maintain representational balance throughout the Region. Council staff is comprised of an Executive Director and a professional planning staff which assists Council and local governments in the review, development, and implementation of community planning initiatives.

The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council has developed a business continuity web site as well as a new element to the Council's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Plan that will address small business disaster preparedness and hazard mitigation. The purpose of this web site is to provide a management tool for businesses to become more disaster-resistant and assist in recovering more rapidly from the effects of a disaster event.
