Bradford Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2018 Begins
BRADFORD: November 14, 2017 – The Town’s Hazard Mitigation Committee will soon be meeting to update the Bradford Hazard Mitigation Plan 2012. Every 5 years, the Plan must be updated and approved to current requirements to ensure the Town’s continued eligibility for federal disaster recovery and mitigation grant project funding. Past and potential natural disasters and other hazard events will be assessed and critical facilities and vulnerable areas and populations will be identified. The Committee will review existing mitigation capabilities and develop long-term risk reduction mitigation actions to help alleviate the impact of these events to Bradford’s people, buildings, and property.
The Committee will hold its first meeting on Wednesday, November 29, 2017 at 9:00 AM at the Bradford Area Community Center, 134 East Main Street, Bradford. Additional meetings will be scheduled at this time. The draft Bradford Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2018 document is anticipated to be completed in spring 2018.
All unique perspectives from stakeholders, engaged citizens, businesses, and organizations are invited to attend and participate in the Town’s hazard mitigation discussion and decision making.
