Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

Every five years, Braintree is required to update a federal and state approved Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). A LHMP is a community resilience and climate change adaptation plan. All hazards that may cause damages or threaten life and property are assessed in the LHMP so that the community can develop projects and initiatives to address vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities may be homes or businesses in the floodplain or river corridor, high-risk factor populations that may be cut off from electricity and communication in a wind, ice or snow storm, workers exposed to extreme heat when working outdoors, or farms and businesses that are not prepared for the impacts of drought and invasive species.

The top hazards in Vermont include fluvial erosion (movement of waterways), inundation flooding, heat, wind, snow, ice, drought, infectious disease (vector-borne illness), cold, invasive (pest) species, landslides and wildfire. Each community may also determine that other non-climate related hazards need to be included in its resilience plan, such as earthquakes. You can view the most recently adopted Braintree LHMP below.
