Fire Chief and Emergency Management Director Christopher Coleman invites residents to share ideas for the town’s Hazard Mitigation Plan during an upcoming joint hybrid meeting of the Local Emergency Planning Committee and the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee.
The meeting will be held on Monday, April 14, at 10 a.m. in the JoAnn Cathcart Conference Room at Town Hall. To access the meeting virtually, visit this site. The meeting passcode is 691484.
This meeting will address:
- The natural hazards that pose the greatest risks to North Attleborough, including the potential for flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes and more.
- Areas in the town most vulnerable to damage.
- Actions that can prevent or minimize the impact of these hazards on our community.
The updated Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies these risks and outlines actionable steps to mitigate them. With a FEMA-approved Hazard Mitigation Plan, the town becomes eligible for critical pre- and post-disaster mitigation grant funding from FEMA.
