Public Notice – Local Hazard Mitigation Planning Meeting, Monday, 10/21/24
The Town of Braintree is in the process of updating its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Local Hazard Mitigation Plans enable towns to qualify for grant funds, and they make our communities safer. The upcoming Braintree Hazard Mitigation planning meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 21, 2024, at 6:00 PM at the Braintree Town Office, 932 Vermont Route 12A, Braintree, VT 05060.
The focus of the meeting will be to review the top hazards for Braintree and assess the actions undertaken to address natural hazards since 2020. The meeting is open to all interested community members. Local Hazard Mitigation Plans are part of an effort by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to reduce damage from foreseeable natural and human-caused areas. Examples of projects in local plans include upgrading culverts, developing emergency transportation plans for vulnerable populations, clearing utility corridors, and road maintenance.
