WORCESTER, Mass. – The City of Worcester Emergency Communications & Management Department has launched a community survey to solicit public feedback and input to update the department’s 2025-’30 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 complete the survey to offer 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 survey link can be found here: https://forms.office.com/g/kuP8vkLCTJ.
The public is also invited to attend an informational meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 6 p.m. at the Worcester Regional Transit Authority Maintenance and Operations Facility at 42 Quinsigamond Ave. Food will be provided.
