WORCESTER, Mass. – The City of Worcester Emergency Communications & Management is soliciting public feedback and input as the department works to update its Hazard Mitigation Plan.
The Hazard Mitigation Plan details all the natural hazard risks that may impact the city and includes a list of potential actions to mitigate those risks.
The City of Worcester encourages all residents and business owners to attend the department’s public meeting to share ideas and gather feedback regarding which hazards present the greatest risks, which areas of the city are most susceptible to damage, and steps to mitigate risks.
A Hazard Mitigation Plan, approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and adopted by the City, allows the municipality to apply for pre- and post-disaster hazard mitigation grant funds. The development of this plan includes public participation.
The meeting will be held in person at the Worcester Senior Center and via Zoom.
