At this meeting, the public will have an opportunity to contribute their ideas for making the Town more resilient to natural hazards such as flooding, snowstorms, high winds, and extreme temperatures.
This plan is being developed by a Core Team of Town officials and local stakeholders. Jamie Caplan Consulting LLC, a Northampton, MA based firm, is leading this effort.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approval, and Town adoption, of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Update allows the Town to apply for pre- and post-disaster hazard mitigation grant funds.
North Reading developed a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) plan in 2018 that also identified possible actions to mitigate risks to natural hazards and climate change. The Hazard Mitigation Plan Update will include all of those identified actions still relevant today.
