Woodstock Hazard Mitigation Plan – Second Public Meeting

The Town and Village of Woodstock 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 second Woodstock Hazard Mitigation planning meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 16, 2021, at 6:30 PM at the Woodstock Town Hall, 31 The Green, Woodstock, VT 05091. The focus of the meeting will be to draft mitigation strategies for town-identified top hazards.

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 hazards. Examples of projects in local plans include increasing culvert sizes, regulating flood hazard areas, stabilizing landslides, and tree trimming near power lines.
